What is 542.28 percent of 1000 - 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 1000 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 1000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 542.28% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=542.28%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1000=100%
2) x=542.28%
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:
1000/x=100%/542.28%
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 542.28% of 1000

1000/x=100/542.28
(1000/x)*x=(100/542.28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1000=0.18440657962676*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.18440657962676) to get x
1000/0.18440657962676=x
5422.8=x
x=5422.8

now we have:
542.28% of 1000=5422.8
