What is 1118 percent of 1685 - 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 1685 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 1685 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1685=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1118% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1118%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1685=100%
2) x=1118%
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:
1685/x=100%/1118%
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 1118% of 1685

1685/x=100/1118
(1685/x)*x=(100/1118)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1685=0.089445438282648*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.089445438282648) to get x
1685/0.089445438282648=x
18838.3=x
x=18838.3

now we have:
1118% of 1685=18838.3
