17 is what percent of 94.65 - 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 94.65 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 94.65, so we can write it down as 100%=94.65.
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%=94.65
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%=94.65/17
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 94.65

100%/x%=94.65/17
(100/x)*x=(94.65/17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.5676470588235*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.5676470588235) to get x
100/5.5676470588235=x
17.960908610671=x
x=17.960908610671

now we have:
17 is 17.960908610671% of 94.65
