What is 6.3 percent of 17750 - 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 17750 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 17750 is 100%, so we can write it down as 17750=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.3% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.3%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 17750=100%
2) x=6.3%
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:
17750/x=100%/6.3%
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 6.3% of 17750

17750/x=100/6.3
(17750/x)*x=(100/6.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
17750=15.873015873016*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.873015873016) to get x
17750/15.873015873016=x
1118.25=x
x=1118.25

now we have:
6.3% of 17750=1118.25
