What is 17.32 percent of 20.02 - 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 20.02 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 20.02 is 100%, so we can write it down as 20.02=100%.
4. We know, that x is 17.32% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=17.32%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 20.02=100%
2) x=17.32%
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:
20.02/x=100%/17.32%
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 17.32% of 20.02

20.02/x=100/17.32
(20.02/x)*x=(100/17.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
20.02=5.7736720554273*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.7736720554273) to get x
20.02/5.7736720554273=x
3.467464=x
x=3.467464

now we have:
17.32% of 20.02=3.467464
