10 is what percent of 1.713 - 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 1.713 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 1.713, so we can write it down as 100%=1.713.
4. We know, that x% equals 10 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.713
2) x%=10
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%=1.713/10
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10 is what percent of 1.713

100%/x%=1.713/10
(100/x)*x=(1.713/10)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.1713*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.1713) to get x
100/0.1713=x
583.77116170461=x
x=583.77116170461

now we have:
10 is 583.77116170461% of 1.713
