What is 6.044 percent of 17.042 - 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 17.042 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 17.042 is 100%, so we can write it down as 17.042=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.044% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.044%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 17.042=100%
2) x=6.044%
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:
17.042/x=100%/6.044%
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 6.044% of 17.042

17.042/x=100/6.044
(17.042/x)*x=(100/6.044)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
17.042=16.545334215751*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.545334215751) to get x
17.042/16.545334215751=x
1.03001848=x
x=1.03001848

now we have:
6.044% of 17.042=1.03001848
