What is 1700 percent of 6 - 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 6 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 6 is 100%, so we can write it down as 6=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1700% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1700%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 6=100%
2) x=1700%
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:
6/x=100%/1700%
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 1700% of 6

6/x=100/1700
(6/x)*x=(100/1700)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
6=0.058823529411765*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.058823529411765) to get x
6/0.058823529411765=x
102=x
x=102

now we have:
1700% of 6=102
