What is 1280 percent of 1260 - 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 1260 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 1260 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1260=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1280% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1280%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1260=100%
2) x=1280%
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:
1260/x=100%/1280%
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 1280% of 1260

1260/x=100/1280
(1260/x)*x=(100/1280)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1260=0.078125*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.078125) to get x
1260/0.078125=x
16128=x
x=16128

now we have:
1280% of 1260=16128
