What is 1100 percent of 1142 - 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 1142 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 1142 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1142=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1100% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1100%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1142=100%
2) x=1100%
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:
1142/x=100%/1100%
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 1100% of 1142

1142/x=100/1100
(1142/x)*x=(100/1100)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1142=0.090909090909091*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.090909090909091) to get x
1142/0.090909090909091=x
12562=x
x=12562

now we have:
1100% of 1142=12562
