What is 8.822 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 8.822% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.822%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 17000=100%
2) x=8.822%
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%/8.822%
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 8.822% of 17000

17000/x=100/8.822
(17000/x)*x=(100/8.822)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
17000=11.335298118341*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.335298118341) to get x
17000/11.335298118341=x
1499.74=x
x=1499.74

now we have:
8.822% of 17000=1499.74
