What is 1.7 percent of 6104.84 - 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 6104.84 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 6104.84 is 100%, so we can write it down as 6104.84=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) 6104.84=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:
6104.84/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 6104.84

6104.84/x=100/1.7
(6104.84/x)*x=(100/1.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
6104.84=58.823529411765*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (58.823529411765) to get x
6104.84/58.823529411765=x
103.78228=x
x=103.78228

now we have:
1.7% of 6104.84=103.78228
