What is 1085 percent of 1700 - 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 1700 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 1700 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1700=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1085% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1085%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1700=100%
2) x=1085%
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:
1700/x=100%/1085%
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 1085% of 1700

1700/x=100/1085
(1700/x)*x=(100/1085)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1700=0.092165898617512*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.092165898617512) to get x
1700/0.092165898617512=x
18445=x
x=18445

now we have:
1085% of 1700=18445
