What is 20 percent of 1376 - 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 1376 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 1376 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1376=100%.
4. We know, that x is 20% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=20%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1376=100%
2) x=20%
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:
1376/x=100%/20%
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 20% of 1376

1376/x=100/20
(1376/x)*x=(100/20)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1376=5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5) to get x
1376/5=x
275.2=x
x=275.2

now we have:
20% of 1376=275.2
