What is 17000 percent of 24500 - 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 24500 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 24500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 24500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 17000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=17000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 24500=100%
2) x=17000%
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:
24500/x=100%/17000%
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 17000% of 24500

24500/x=100/17000
(24500/x)*x=(100/17000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
24500=0.0058823529411765*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0058823529411765) to get x
24500/0.0058823529411765=x
4165000=x
x=4165000

now we have:
17000% of 24500=4165000
