What is 2700 percent of 1842 - 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 1842 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 1842 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1842=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2700% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2700%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1842=100%
2) x=2700%
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:
1842/x=100%/2700%
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 2700% of 1842

1842/x=100/2700
(1842/x)*x=(100/2700)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1842=0.037037037037037*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.037037037037037) to get x
1842/0.037037037037037=x
49734=x
x=49734

now we have:
2700% of 1842=49734
