What is 316 percent of 1262 - 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 1262 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 1262 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1262=100%.
4. We know, that x is 316% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=316%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1262=100%
2) x=316%
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:
1262/x=100%/316%
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 316% of 1262

1262/x=100/316
(1262/x)*x=(100/316)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1262=0.31645569620253*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.31645569620253) to get x
1262/0.31645569620253=x
3987.92=x
x=3987.92

now we have:
316% of 1262=3987.92
