What is 17.16 percent of 70.67 - 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 70.67 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 70.67 is 100%, so we can write it down as 70.67=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) 70.67=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:
70.67/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 70.67

70.67/x=100/17.16
(70.67/x)*x=(100/17.16)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
70.67=5.8275058275058*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.8275058275058) to get x
70.67/5.8275058275058=x
12.126972=x
x=12.126972

now we have:
17.16% of 70.67=12.126972
