What is 17.16 percent of 68.64 - 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 68.64 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 68.64 is 100%, so we can write it down as 68.64=100%.
4. We know, that x is 17.16% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=17.16%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 68.64=100%
2) x=17.16%
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:
68.64/x=100%/17.16%
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 17.16% of 68.64

68.64/x=100/17.16
(68.64/x)*x=(100/17.16)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
68.64=5.8275058275058*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.8275058275058) to get x
68.64/5.8275058275058=x
11.778624=x
x=11.778624

now we have:
17.16% of 68.64=11.778624
