What is 1.78 percent of 1070 - 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 1070 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 1070 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1070=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.78% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.78%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1070=100%
2) x=1.78%
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:
1070/x=100%/1.78%
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 1.78% of 1070

1070/x=100/1.78
(1070/x)*x=(100/1.78)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1070=56.179775280899*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (56.179775280899) to get x
1070/56.179775280899=x
19.046=x
x=19.046

now we have:
1.78% of 1070=19.046
