What is 180 percent of 476 - 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 476 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 476 is 100%, so we can write it down as 476=100%.
4. We know, that x is 180% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=180%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 476=100%
2) x=180%
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:
476/x=100%/180%
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 180% of 476

476/x=100/180
(476/x)*x=(100/180)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
476=0.55555555555556*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.55555555555556) to get x
476/0.55555555555556=x
856.8=x
x=856.8

now we have:
180% of 476=856.8
