Question

moral a bird in the handis worth
two in the bush

Answer 1

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 16700 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek without $x$

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that 100\%=16700100%=16700

Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=16700$

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

100\%=16700(1)100%=16700(1)

x\%=16700(2)x%=16700(2)

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS

(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

\frac{100\%}{x\%}=\frac{16700}{16700}

x%

100%

=

16700

16700

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

\frac{x\%}{100\%}=\frac{16700}{16700}

100%

x%

=

16700

16700

\Rightarrow x=100\%⇒x=100%

Therefore, 1670016700 is 100\%100% of $16700$
