6373.92 is what 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 100% equals 17000, so we can write it down as 100%=17000.
4. We know, that x% equals 6373.92 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6373.92.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=17000
2) x%=6373.92
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:
100%/x%=17000/6373.92
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6373.92 is what percent of 17000

100%/x%=17000/6373.92
(100/x)*x=(17000/6373.92)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.6671185079198*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.6671185079198) to get x
100/2.6671185079198=x
37.493647058824=x
x=37.493647058824

now we have:
6373.92 is 37.493647058824% of 17000
