What is 17000 percent of 59000 - 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 59000 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 59000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 59000=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) 59000=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:
59000/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 59000

59000/x=100/17000
(59000/x)*x=(100/17000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
59000=0.0058823529411765*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0058823529411765) to get x
59000/0.0058823529411765=x
10030000=x
x=10030000

now we have:
17000% of 59000=10030000
