What is 3500000 percent of 170000000 - 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 170000000 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 170000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 170000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3500000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3500000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 170000000=100%
2) x=3500000%
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:
170000000/x=100%/3500000%
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 3500000% of 170000000

170000000/x=100/3500000
(170000000/x)*x=(100/3500000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
170000000=2.8571428571429E-5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.8571428571429E-5) to get x
170000000/2.8571428571429E-5=x
5950000000000=x
x=5950000000000

now we have:
3500000% of 170000000=5950000000000
