Shall we make life simpler by eliminating unnecessary numbers. 
<span>Totally, my expenses would be 60+200 = $260. Let us say that of this $100 would be met by the weekly bonus so that the residual part of the requirement is $160. </span>
<span>Let x be the number of hours I work. Then my earning would be 11x. For break even, earning should equal requirement. That is 11x = 160. And so, x = 160/11 = 14.55 hours/week </span>

What percent of 17 is 51?
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

33%

Step-by-step explanation:

h steps:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 51 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with $x$.

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100\%=51$.

Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=17$.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

$100\%=51(1)$.

$x\%=17(2)$.

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS

(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

$\frac{100\%}{x\%}=\frac{51}{17}$

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

$\frac{x\%}{100\%}=\frac{17}{51}$

$\Rightarrow x=33.33\%$

Therefore, $17$ is $33.33\%$ of $51$.
