208.88 is what percent of 17670 - 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 17670 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 17670, so we can write it down as 100%=17670.
4. We know, that x% equals 208.88 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=208.88.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=17670
2) x%=208.88
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%=17670/208.88
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 208.88 is what percent of 17670

100%/x%=17670/208.88
(100/x)*x=(17670/208.88)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=84.594025277671*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (84.594025277671) to get x
100/84.594025277671=x
1.182116581777=x
x=1.182116581777

now we have:
