What is 385 percent of 1450 - 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 1450 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 1450 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1450=100%.
4. We know, that x is 385% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=385%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1450=100%
2) x=385%
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:
1450/x=100%/385%
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 385% of 1450

1450/x=100/385
(1450/x)*x=(100/385)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1450=0.25974025974026*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.25974025974026) to get x
1450/0.25974025974026=x
5582.5=x
x=5582.5

now we have:
385% of 1450=5582.5
