What is 1200 percent of 4290 - 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 4290 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 4290 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4290=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1200% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1200%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4290=100%
2) x=1200%
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:
4290/x=100%/1200%
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 1200% of 4290

4290/x=100/1200
(4290/x)*x=(100/1200)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4290=0.083333333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.083333333333333) to get x
4290/0.083333333333333=x
51480=x
x=51480

now we have:
1200% of 4290=51480
