What is 18000 percent of 17000 - 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 17000 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 17000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 17000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 18000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=18000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 17000=100%
2) x=18000%
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:
17000/x=100%/18000%
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 18000% of 17000

17000/x=100/18000
(17000/x)*x=(100/18000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
17000=0.0055555555555556*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0055555555555556) to get x
17000/0.0055555555555556=x
3060000=x
x=3060000

now we have:
18000% of 17000=3060000
