What is 1178 percent of 1800 - 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 1800 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 1800 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1800=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1178% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1178%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1800=100%
2) x=1178%
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:
1800/x=100%/1178%
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 1178% of 1800

1800/x=100/1178
(1800/x)*x=(100/1178)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1800=0.084889643463497*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.084889643463497) to get x
1800/0.084889643463497=x
21204=x
x=21204

now we have:
1178% of 1800=21204
