What is 1700000 percent of 47000 - 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 47000 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 47000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 47000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1700000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1700000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 47000=100%
2) x=1700000%
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:
47000/x=100%/1700000%
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 1700000% of 47000

47000/x=100/1700000
(47000/x)*x=(100/1700000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
47000=5.8823529411765E-5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.8823529411765E-5) to get x
47000/5.8823529411765E-5=x
799000000=x
x=799000000

now we have:
1700000% of 47000=799000000
