What is 1317 percent of 1997 - 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 1997 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 1997 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1997=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1317% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1317%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1997=100%
2) x=1317%
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:
1997/x=100%/1317%
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 1317% of 1997

1997/x=100/1317
(1997/x)*x=(100/1317)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1997=0.075930144267274*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.075930144267274) to get x
1997/0.075930144267274=x
26300.49=x
x=26300.49

now we have:
1317% of 1997=26300.49
