What is 10.17 percent of 23000 - 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 23000 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 23000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 23000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 10.17% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=10.17%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 23000=100%
2) x=10.17%
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:
23000/x=100%/10.17%
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 10.17% of 23000

23000/x=100/10.17
(23000/x)*x=(100/10.17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
23000=9.8328416912488*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.8328416912488) to get x
23000/9.8328416912488=x
2339.1=x
x=2339.1

now we have:
10.17% of 23000=2339.1
