17 is what percent of 3034000 - 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 3034000 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 3034000, so we can write it down as 100%=3034000.
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%=3034000
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%=3034000/17
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 3034000

100%/x%=3034000/17
(100/x)*x=(3034000/17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=178470.58823529*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (178470.58823529) to get x
100/178470.58823529=x
0.00056031641397495=x
x=0.00056031641397495

now we have:
17 is 0.00056031641397495% of 3034000
