What is 62.16 percent of 17.16 - 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 17.16 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 17.16 is 100%, so we can write it down as 17.16=100%.
4. We know, that x is 62.16% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=62.16%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 17.16=100%
2) x=62.16%
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:
17.16/x=100%/62.16%
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 62.16% of 17.16

17.16/x=100/62.16
(17.16/x)*x=(100/62.16)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
17.16=1.6087516087516*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6087516087516) to get x
17.16/1.6087516087516=x
10.666656=x
x=10.666656

now we have:
62.16% of 17.16=10.666656
