What is 1017 percent of 63700 - 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 63700 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 63700 is 100%, so we can write it down as 63700=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1017% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1017%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 63700=100%
2) x=1017%
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:
63700/x=100%/1017%
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 1017% of 63700

63700/x=100/1017
(63700/x)*x=(100/1017)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
63700=0.098328416912488*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.098328416912488) to get x
63700/0.098328416912488=x
647829=x
x=647829

now we have:
1017% of 63700=647829
