What is 510 percent of 267 - 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 267 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 267 is 100%, so we can write it down as 267=100%.
4. We know, that x is 510% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=510%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 267=100%
2) x=510%
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:
267/x=100%/510%
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 510% of 267

267/x=100/510
(267/x)*x=(100/510)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
267=0.19607843137255*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.19607843137255) to get x
267/0.19607843137255=x
1361.7=x
x=1361.7

now we have:
510% of 267=1361.7
