What is 56.53 percent of 17 - 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 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 is 100%, so we can write it down as 17=100%.
4. We know, that x is 56.53% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=56.53%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 17=100%
2) x=56.53%
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/x=100%/56.53%
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 56.53% of 17

17/x=100/56.53
(17/x)*x=(100/56.53)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
17=1.768972227136*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.768972227136) to get x
17/1.768972227136=x
9.6101=x
x=9.6101

now we have:
56.53% of 17=9.6101
