What is 49.4 percent of 1800000 - 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 1800000 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 1800000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1800000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 49.4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=49.4%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1800000=100%
2) x=49.4%
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:
1800000/x=100%/49.4%
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 49.4% of 1800000

1800000/x=100/49.4
(1800000/x)*x=(100/49.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1800000=2.0242914979757*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0242914979757) to get x
1800000/2.0242914979757=x
889200=x
x=889200

now we have:
49.4% of 1800000=889200
