What is 17 percent of 57823 - 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 57823 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 57823 is 100%, so we can write it down as 57823=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) 57823=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:
57823/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 57823

57823/x=100/17
(57823/x)*x=(100/17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
57823=5.8823529411765*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.8823529411765) to get x
57823/5.8823529411765=x
9829.91=x
x=9829.91

now we have:
17% of 57823=9829.91
