What is 1117 percent of 1240 - 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 1240 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 1240 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1240=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1117% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1117%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1240=100%
2) x=1117%
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:
1240/x=100%/1117%
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 1117% of 1240

1240/x=100/1117
(1240/x)*x=(100/1117)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1240=0.08952551477171*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.08952551477171) to get x
1240/0.08952551477171=x
13850.8=x
x=13850.8

now we have:
1117% of 1240=13850.8
