What is 1168 percent of 20 - 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 20 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 20 is 100%, so we can write it down as 20=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1168% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1168%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 20=100%
2) x=1168%
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:
20/x=100%/1168%
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 1168% of 20

20/x=100/1168
(20/x)*x=(100/1168)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
20=0.085616438356164*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.085616438356164) to get x
20/0.085616438356164=x
233.6=x
x=233.6

now we have:
1168% of 20=233.6
