What is 17 percent of 48966 - 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 48966 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 48966 is 100%, so we can write it down as 48966=100%.
4. We know, that x is 17% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=17%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 48966=100%
2) x=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:
48966/x=100%/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 17% of 48966

48966/x=100/17
(48966/x)*x=(100/17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
48966=5.8823529411765*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.8823529411765) to get x
48966/5.8823529411765=x
8324.22=x
x=8324.22

now we have:
17% of 48966=8324.22
