1714.29 is what percent of 30000 - 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 30000 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 30000, so we can write it down as 100%=30000.
4. We know, that x% equals 1714.29 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1714.29.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=30000
2) x%=1714.29
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%=30000/1714.29
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1714.29 is what percent of 30000

100%/x%=30000/1714.29
(100/x)*x=(30000/1714.29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=17.499956250109*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.499956250109) to get x
100/17.499956250109=x
5.7143=x
x=5.7143

now we have:
1714.29 is 5.7143% of 30000
