What is 371.42 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 371.42% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=371.42%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 500=100%
2) x=371.42%
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%/371.42%
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 371.42% of 500

500/x=100/371.42
(500/x)*x=(100/371.42)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
500=0.2692369823919*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.2692369823919) to get x
500/0.2692369823919=x
1857.1=x
x=1857.1

now we have:
371.42% of 500=1857.1
