17.5 is what percent of 1194 - 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 1194 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 1194, so we can write it down as 100%=1194.
4. We know, that x% equals 17.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=17.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1194
2) x%=17.5
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%=1194/17.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 17.5 is what percent of 1194

100%/x%=1194/17.5
(100/x)*x=(1194/17.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=68.228571428571*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (68.228571428571) to get x
100/68.228571428571=x
1.465661641541=x
x=1.465661641541

now we have:
17.5 is 1.465661641541% of 1194
