What is 22.8571428571 percent of 1000 - 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 1000 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 1000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 22.8571428571% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=22.8571428571%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1000=100%
2) x=22.8571428571%
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:
1000/x=100%/22.8571428571%
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 22.8571428571% of 1000

1000/x=100/22.8571428571
(1000/x)*x=(100/22.8571428571)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1000=4.3750000000082*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.3750000000082) to get x
1000/4.3750000000082=x
228.571428571=x
x=228.571428571

now we have:
22.8571428571% of 1000=228.571428571
