What is 1261 percent of 1000 - 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 1000 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 1000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1261% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1261%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1000=100%
2) x=1261%
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:
1000/x=100%/1261%
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 1261% of 1000

1000/x=100/1261
(1000/x)*x=(100/1261)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1000=0.079302141157811*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.079302141157811) to get x
1000/0.079302141157811=x
12610=x
x=12610

now we have:
1261% of 1000=12610
