What is 1184 percent of 1340 - 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 1340 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 1340 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1340=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1184% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1184%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1340=100%
2) x=1184%
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:
1340/x=100%/1184%
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 1184% of 1340

1340/x=100/1184
(1340/x)*x=(100/1184)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1340=0.084459459459459*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.084459459459459) to get x
1340/0.084459459459459=x
15865.6=x
x=15865.6

now we have:
1184% of 1340=15865.6
