What is 20000 percent of 17300 - 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 17300 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 17300 is 100%, so we can write it down as 17300=100%.
4. We know, that x is 20000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=20000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 17300=100%
2) x=20000%
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:
17300/x=100%/20000%
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 20000% of 17300

17300/x=100/20000
(17300/x)*x=(100/20000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
17300=0.005*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.005) to get x
17300/0.005=x
3460000=x
x=3460000

now we have:
20000% of 17300=3460000
