What is 250 percent of 17310 - 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 17310 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 17310 is 100%, so we can write it down as 17310=100%.
4. We know, that x is 250% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=250%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 17310=100%
2) x=250%
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:
17310/x=100%/250%
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 250% of 17310

17310/x=100/250
(17310/x)*x=(100/250)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
17310=0.4*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.4) to get x
17310/0.4=x
43275=x
x=43275

now we have:
250% of 17310=43275
