What is 14.3 percent of 10800 - 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 10800 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 10800 is 100%, so we can write it down as 10800=100%.
4. We know, that x is 14.3% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=14.3%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 10800=100%
2) x=14.3%
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:
10800/x=100%/14.3%
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 14.3% of 10800

10800/x=100/14.3
(10800/x)*x=(100/14.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
10800=6.993006993007*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.993006993007) to get x
10800/6.993006993007=x
1544.4=x
x=1544.4

now we have:
14.3% of 10800=1544.4
