What is 1.7 percent of 1.12 - 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 1.12 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 1.12 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1.12=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.7% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.7%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1.12=100%
2) x=1.7%
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:
1.12/x=100%/1.7%
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 1.7% of 1.12

1.12/x=100/1.7
(1.12/x)*x=(100/1.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1.12=58.823529411765*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (58.823529411765) to get x
1.12/58.823529411765=x
0.01904=x
x=0.01904

now we have:
1.7% of 1.12=0.01904
