What is 1250 percent of 469 - 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 469 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 469 is 100%, so we can write it down as 469=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1250% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1250%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 469=100%
2) x=1250%
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:
469/x=100%/1250%
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 1250% of 469

469/x=100/1250
(469/x)*x=(100/1250)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
469=0.08*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.08) to get x
469/0.08=x
5862.5=x
x=5862.5

now we have:
1250% of 469=5862.5
