What is 17000000 percent of 15 - 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 15 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 15 is 100%, so we can write it down as 15=100%.
4. We know, that x is 17000000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=17000000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 15=100%
2) x=17000000%
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:
15/x=100%/17000000%
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 17000000% of 15

15/x=100/17000000
(15/x)*x=(100/17000000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
15=5.8823529411765E-6*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.8823529411765E-6) to get x
15/5.8823529411765E-6=x
2550000=x
x=2550000

now we have:
17000000% of 15=2550000
