1266.67 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 1266.67 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1266.67.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1800
2) x%=1266.67
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%=1800/1266.67
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1266.67 is what percent of 1800

100%/x%=1800/1266.67
(100/x)*x=(1800/1266.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4210488919766*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4210488919766) to get x
100/1.4210488919766=x
70.370555555556=x
x=70.370555555556

now we have:
1266.67 is 70.370555555556% of 1800
