What is 371 percent of 500 - 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 500 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 500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 371% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=371%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 500=100%
2) x=371%
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:
500/x=100%/371%
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 371% of 500

500/x=100/371
(500/x)*x=(100/371)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
500=0.26954177897574*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.26954177897574) to get x
500/0.26954177897574=x
1855=x
x=1855

now we have:
371% of 500=1855
