1.7 is what percent of 562.75 - 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 562.75 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 562.75, so we can write it down as 100%=562.75.
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%=562.75
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%=562.75/1.7
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 562.75

100%/x%=562.75/1.7
(100/x)*x=(562.75/1.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=331.02941176471*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (331.02941176471) to get x
100/331.02941176471=x
0.30208796090626=x
x=0.30208796090626

now we have:
1.7 is 0.30208796090626% of 562.75
