What is 1.498 percent of 1.7 - 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 1.7 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 1.7 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1.7=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.498% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.498%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1.7=100%
2) x=1.498%
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:
1.7/x=100%/1.498%
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 1.498% of 1.7

1.7/x=100/1.498
(1.7/x)*x=(100/1.498)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1.7=66.75567423231*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (66.75567423231) to get x
1.7/66.75567423231=x
0.025466=x
x=0.025466

now we have:
1.498% of 1.7=0.025466
