What is 0.0575 percent of 17000 - 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 17000 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 17000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 17000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.0575% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.0575%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 17000=100%
2) x=0.0575%
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:
17000/x=100%/0.0575%
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 0.0575% of 17000

17000/x=100/0.0575
(17000/x)*x=(100/0.0575)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
17000=1739.1304347826*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1739.1304347826) to get x
17000/1739.1304347826=x
9.775=x
x=9.775

now we have:
0.0575% of 17000=9.775
