1377.2 is what percent of 17360 - 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 17360 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 17360, so we can write it down as 100%=17360.
4. We know, that x% equals 1377.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1377.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=17360
2) x%=1377.2
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%=17360/1377.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1377.2 is what percent of 17360

100%/x%=17360/1377.2
(100/x)*x=(17360/1377.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.605286087714*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.605286087714) to get x
100/12.605286087714=x
7.9331797235023=x
x=7.9331797235023

now we have:
1377.2 is 7.9331797235023% of 17360
