What is 17.43 percent of 300 - 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 300 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 300 is 100%, so we can write it down as 300=100%.
4. We know, that x is 17.43% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=17.43%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 300=100%
2) x=17.43%
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:
300/x=100%/17.43%
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 17.43% of 300

300/x=100/17.43
(300/x)*x=(100/17.43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
300=5.7372346528973*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.7372346528973) to get x
300/5.7372346528973=x
52.29=x
x=52.29

now we have:
17.43% of 300=52.29
