What is 1.764 percent of 1180 - 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 1180 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 1180 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1180=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.764% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.764%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1180=100%
2) x=1.764%
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:
1180/x=100%/1.764%
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 1.764% of 1180

1180/x=100/1.764
(1180/x)*x=(100/1.764)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1180=56.689342403628*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (56.689342403628) to get x
1180/56.689342403628=x
20.8152=x
x=20.8152

now we have:
1.764% of 1180=20.8152
