What is 0.0174 percent of 172000000 - 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 172000000 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 172000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 172000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.0174% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.0174%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 172000000=100%
2) x=0.0174%
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:
172000000/x=100%/0.0174%
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 0.0174% of 172000000

172000000/x=100/0.0174
(172000000/x)*x=(100/0.0174)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
172000000=5747.1264367816*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5747.1264367816) to get x
172000000/5747.1264367816=x
29928=x
x=29928

now we have:
0.0174% of 172000000=29928
