What is 17.5 percent of 675.18 - 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 675.18 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 675.18 is 100%, so we can write it down as 675.18=100%.
4. We know, that x is 17.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=17.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 675.18=100%
2) x=17.5%
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:
675.18/x=100%/17.5%
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 17.5% of 675.18

675.18/x=100/17.5
(675.18/x)*x=(100/17.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
675.18=5.7142857142857*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.7142857142857) to get x
675.18/5.7142857142857=x
118.1565=x
x=118.1565

now we have:
17.5% of 675.18=118.1565
