1.7 is what percent of 1.77 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 1.77 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 1.77, so we can write it down as 100%=1.77.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.77
2) x%=1.7
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=1.77/1.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.7 is what percent of 1.77

100%/x%=1.77/1.7
(100/x)*x=(1.77/1.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0411764705882*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0411764705882) to get x
100/1.0411764705882=x
96.045197740113=x
x=96.045197740113

now we have:
1.7 is 96.045197740113% of 1.77
