What is 11.75 percent of 17675 - 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 17675 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 17675 is 100%, so we can write it down as 17675=100%.
4. We know, that x is 11.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=11.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 17675=100%
2) x=11.75%
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:
17675/x=100%/11.75%
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 11.75% of 17675

17675/x=100/11.75
(17675/x)*x=(100/11.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
17675=8.51063829787*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.51063829787) to get x
17675/8.51063829787=x
2076.8125=x
x=2076.8125

now we have:
11.75% of 17675=2076.8125
