Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
300:51*100 =
(300*100):51 =
30000:51 = 588.24
Now we have: 300 is what percent of 51 = 588.24
Question: 300 is what percent of 51?
Percentage solution with 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 $x$x.
Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100\%=51$100%=51.
Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=300$x%=300.
Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:
$100\%=51(1)$100%=51(1).
$x\%=300(2)$x%=300(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
$\frac{100\%}{x\%}=\frac{51}{300}$
100%
x%=
51
300
Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields
$\frac{x\%}{100\%}=\frac{300}{51}$
x%
100%=
300
51
$\Rightarrow x=588.24\%$⇒x=588.24%
Therefore, 17% of 300 is 51
