What is 2975 percent of 17.5 - 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 17.5 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 17.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 17.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2975% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2975%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 17.5=100%
2) x=2975%
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:
17.5/x=100%/2975%
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 2975% of 17.5

17.5/x=100/2975
(17.5/x)*x=(100/2975)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
17.5=0.033613445378151*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.033613445378151) to get x
17.5/0.033613445378151=x
520.625=x
x=520.625

now we have:
2975% of 17.5=520.625
