What is 284 percent of 317 - 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 317 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 317 is 100%, so we can write it down as 317=100%.
4. We know, that x is 284% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=284%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 317=100%
2) x=284%
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:
317/x=100%/284%
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 284% of 317

317/x=100/284
(317/x)*x=(100/284)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
317=0.35211267605634*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.35211267605634) to get x
317/0.35211267605634=x
900.28=x
x=900.28

now we have:
284% of 317=900.28
