What is 165 percent of 1.485 - 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 1.485 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 1.485 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1.485=100%.
4. We know, that x is 165% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=165%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1.485=100%
2) x=165%
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:
1.485/x=100%/165%
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 165% of 1.485

1.485/x=100/165
(1.485/x)*x=(100/165)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1.485=0.60606060606061*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.60606060606061) to get x
1.485/0.60606060606061=x
2.45025=x
x=2.45025

now we have:
165% of 1.485=2.45025
