1.97 is what percent of 34.17 - 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 34.17 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 34.17, so we can write it down as 100%=34.17.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.97 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.97.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=34.17
2) x%=1.97
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%=34.17/1.97
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.97 is what percent of 34.17

100%/x%=34.17/1.97
(100/x)*x=(34.17/1.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=17.345177664975*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.345177664975) to get x
100/17.345177664975=x
5.7652911911033=x
x=5.7652911911033

now we have:
1.97 is 5.7652911911033% of 34.17
