What is 45.699 percent of 17000 - 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 17000 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 17000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 17000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 45.699% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=45.699%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 17000=100%
2) x=45.699%
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:
17000/x=100%/45.699%
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 45.699% of 17000

17000/x=100/45.699
(17000/x)*x=(100/45.699)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
17000=2.1882316899713*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1882316899713) to get x
17000/2.1882316899713=x
7768.83=x
x=7768.83

now we have:
45.699% of 17000=7768.83
