1256.02 is what 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 100% equals 1800, so we can write it down as 100%=1800.
4. We know, that x% equals 1256.02 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1256.02.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1800
2) x%=1256.02
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:
100%/x%=1800/1256.02
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1256.02 is what percent of 1800

100%/x%=1800/1256.02
(100/x)*x=(1800/1256.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4330981990733*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4330981990733) to get x
100/1.4330981990733=x
69.778888888889=x
x=69.778888888889

now we have:
1256.02 is 69.778888888889% of 1800
