1.71 is what percent of 2060 - 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 2060 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 2060, so we can write it down as 100%=2060.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.71 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.71.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2060
2) x%=1.71
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%=2060/1.71
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.71 is what percent of 2060

100%/x%=2060/1.71
(100/x)*x=(2060/1.71)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1204.6783625731*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1204.6783625731) to get x
100/1204.6783625731=x
0.083009708737864=x
x=0.083009708737864

now we have:
1.71 is 0.083009708737864% of 2060
