What is 17.26 percent of 200 - 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 200 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 200 is 100%, so we can write it down as 200=100%.
4. We know, that x is 17.26% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=17.26%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 200=100%
2) x=17.26%
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:
200/x=100%/17.26%
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 17.26% of 200

200/x=100/17.26
(200/x)*x=(100/17.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
200=5.7937427578216*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.7937427578216) to get x
200/5.7937427578216=x
34.52=x
x=34.52

now we have:
17.26% of 200=34.52
