What is 17.04 percent of 71.44 - 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 71.44 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 71.44 is 100%, so we can write it down as 71.44=100%.
4. We know, that x is 17.04% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=17.04%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 71.44=100%
2) x=17.04%
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:
71.44/x=100%/17.04%
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 17.04% of 71.44

71.44/x=100/17.04
(71.44/x)*x=(100/17.04)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
71.44=5.868544600939*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.868544600939) to get x
71.44/5.868544600939=x
12.173376=x
x=12.173376

now we have:
17.04% of 71.44=12.173376
