17 is what percent of 16100000 - 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 16100000 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 16100000, so we can write it down as 100%=16100000.
4. We know, that x% equals 17 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=17.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16100000
2) x%=17
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%=16100000/17
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 17 is what percent of 16100000

100%/x%=16100000/17
(100/x)*x=(16100000/17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=947058.82352941*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (947058.82352941) to get x
100/947058.82352941=x
0.0001055900621118=x
x=0.0001055900621118

now we have:
17 is 0.0001055900621118% of 16100000
