What is 130 percent of 1143 - 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 1143 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 1143 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1143=100%.
4. We know, that x is 130% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=130%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1143=100%
2) x=130%
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:
1143/x=100%/130%
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 130% of 1143

1143/x=100/130
(1143/x)*x=(100/130)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1143=0.76923076923077*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.76923076923077) to get x
1143/0.76923076923077=x
1485.9=x
x=1485.9

now we have:
130% of 1143=1485.9
