What is 1.7 percent of 767.06 - 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 767.06 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 767.06 is 100%, so we can write it down as 767.06=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) 767.06=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:
767.06/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 767.06

767.06/x=100/1.7
(767.06/x)*x=(100/1.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
767.06=58.823529411765*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (58.823529411765) to get x
767.06/58.823529411765=x
13.04002=x
x=13.04002

now we have:
1.7% of 767.06=13.04002
