What is 1140 percent of 28500 - 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 28500 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 28500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 28500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1140% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1140%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 28500=100%
2) x=1140%
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:
28500/x=100%/1140%
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 1140% of 28500

28500/x=100/1140
(28500/x)*x=(100/1140)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
28500=0.087719298245614*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.087719298245614) to get x
28500/0.087719298245614=x
324900=x
x=324900

now we have:
1140% of 28500=324900
