What is 172000000 percent of 20 - 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 20 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 20 is 100%, so we can write it down as 20=100%.
4. We know, that x is 172000000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=172000000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 20=100%
2) x=172000000%
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:
20/x=100%/172000000%
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 172000000% of 20

20/x=100/172000000
(20/x)*x=(100/172000000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
20=5.8139534883721E-7*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.8139534883721E-7) to get x
20/5.8139534883721E-7=x
34400000=x
x=34400000

now we have:
172000000% of 20=34400000
