What is 1020 percent of 786 - 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 786 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 786 is 100%, so we can write it down as 786=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1020% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1020%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 786=100%
2) x=1020%
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:
786/x=100%/1020%
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 1020% of 786

786/x=100/1020
(786/x)*x=(100/1020)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
786=0.098039215686275*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.098039215686275) to get x
786/0.098039215686275=x
8017.2=x
x=8017.2

now we have:
1020% of 786=8017.2
