What is 99.68 percent of 17.089 - 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 17.089 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 17.089 is 100%, so we can write it down as 17.089=100%.
4. We know, that x is 99.68% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=99.68%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 17.089=100%
2) x=99.68%
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:
17.089/x=100%/99.68%
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 99.68% of 17.089

17.089/x=100/99.68
(17.089/x)*x=(100/99.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
17.089=1.0032102728732*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0032102728732) to get x
17.089/1.0032102728732=x
17.0343152=x
x=17.0343152

now we have:
99.68% of 17.089=17.0343152
