17.19 is what percent of 28.46 - 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 28.46 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 28.46, so we can write it down as 100%=28.46.
4. We know, that x% equals 17.19 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=17.19.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=28.46
2) x%=17.19
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%=28.46/17.19
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 17.19 is what percent of 28.46

100%/x%=28.46/17.19
(100/x)*x=(28.46/17.19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6556137289122*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6556137289122) to get x
100/1.6556137289122=x
60.400562192551=x
x=60.400562192551

now we have:
17.19 is 60.400562192551% of 28.46
