What is 0.0375 percent of 17000000 - 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 17000000 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 17000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 17000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.0375% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.0375%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 17000000=100%
2) x=0.0375%
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:
17000000/x=100%/0.0375%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 0.0375% of 17000000

17000000/x=100/0.0375
(17000000/x)*x=(100/0.0375)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
17000000=2666.6666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2666.6666666667) to get x
17000000/2666.6666666667=x
6375=x
x=6375

now we have:
0.0375% of 17000000=6375
