What is 46000 percent of 1700 - 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 1700 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 1700 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1700=100%.
4. We know, that x is 46000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=46000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1700=100%
2) x=46000%
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:
1700/x=100%/46000%
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 46000% of 1700

1700/x=100/46000
(1700/x)*x=(100/46000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1700=0.0021739130434783*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0021739130434783) to get x
1700/0.0021739130434783=x
782000=x
x=782000

now we have:
46000% of 1700=782000
