What is 36900 percent of 1.7 - 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 1.7 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 1.7 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1.7=100%.
4. We know, that x is 36900% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=36900%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1.7=100%
2) x=36900%
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:
1.7/x=100%/36900%
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 36900% of 1.7

1.7/x=100/36900
(1.7/x)*x=(100/36900)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1.7=0.002710027100271*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.002710027100271) to get x
1.7/0.002710027100271=x
627.3=x
x=627.3

now we have:
36900% of 1.7=627.3
