17.53 is what percent of 1223.37 - 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 1223.37 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 1223.37, so we can write it down as 100%=1223.37.
4. We know, that x% equals 17.53 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=17.53.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1223.37
2) x%=17.53
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%=1223.37/17.53
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 17.53 is what percent of 1223.37

100%/x%=1223.37/17.53
(100/x)*x=(1223.37/17.53)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=69.787221905305*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (69.787221905305) to get x
100/69.787221905305=x
1.4329270784799=x
x=1.4329270784799

now we have:
