What is 1000 percent of 1847 - 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 1847 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 1847 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1847=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1847=100%
2) x=1000%
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:
1847/x=100%/1000%
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 1000% of 1847

1847/x=100/1000
(1847/x)*x=(100/1000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1847=0.1*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.1) to get x
1847/0.1=x
18470=x
x=18470

now we have:
1000% of 1847=18470
