proportions
Cross Multiply
17/32=t/100
17*100=t*32
Divide out like a regular algebra problem
1700=32t
1700/32=32t/32
53.125=t
53 1/8=t
Recheck your answer
17/32=53.125/1000
.53125=.53125 - When divide out
1700=1700 - When cross multiplied again
check ya later ♥

1. cross multiply 17(100)=32t
2. 1700=32t
3. divide both sides by 32.
4. 1700/32=t
5. t=53 1/8

The KEY to solving algebra problems is to isolate the unknown variable by doing the exact opposite of what's being done to it right now.
In your question, you're dividing T by 100, so the opposite of dividing is multiplying. Therefore, you'd multiply both sides by 100.

17/32=t/100
17*100=32*t
t=(100*17)/32
t=1700/32
t=53.125
