What is 1185 percent of 2000 - 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 2000 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 2000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1185% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1185%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2000=100%
2) x=1185%
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:
2000/x=100%/1185%
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 1185% of 2000

2000/x=100/1185
(2000/x)*x=(100/1185)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2000=0.084388185654008*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.084388185654008) to get x
2000/0.084388185654008=x
23700=x
x=23700

now we have:
1185% of 2000=23700
