What is 1740 percent of 585 - 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 585 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 585 is 100%, so we can write it down as 585=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1740% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1740%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 585=100%
2) x=1740%
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:
585/x=100%/1740%
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 1740% of 585

585/x=100/1740
(585/x)*x=(100/1740)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
585=0.057471264367816*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.057471264367816) to get x
585/0.057471264367816=x
10179=x
x=10179

now we have:
1740% of 585=10179
