17.3 is what percent of 17.115 - 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 17.115 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 17.115, so we can write it down as 100%=17.115.
4. We know, that x% equals 17.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=17.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=17.115
2) x%=17.3
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%=17.115/17.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 17.3 is what percent of 17.115

100%/x%=17.115/17.3
(100/x)*x=(17.115/17.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.9893063583815*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.9893063583815) to get x
100/0.9893063583815=x
101.08092316681=x
x=101.08092316681

now we have:
17.3 is 101.08092316681% of 17.115
