What is 3.32 percent of 17.29 - 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 17.29 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 17.29 is 100%, so we can write it down as 17.29=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.32% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.32%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 17.29=100%
2) x=3.32%
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:
17.29/x=100%/3.32%
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 3.32% of 17.29

17.29/x=100/3.32
(17.29/x)*x=(100/3.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
17.29=30.120481927711*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (30.120481927711) to get x
17.29/30.120481927711=x
0.574028=x
x=0.574028

now we have:
3.32% of 17.29=0.574028
