What is 37500 percent of 170000 - 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 170000 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 170000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 170000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 37500% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=37500%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 170000=100%
2) x=37500%
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:
170000/x=100%/37500%
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 37500% of 170000

170000/x=100/37500
(170000/x)*x=(100/37500)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
170000=0.0026666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0026666666666667) to get x
170000/0.0026666666666667=x
63750000=x
x=63750000

now we have:
37500% of 170000=63750000
