What is 585 percent of 1024 - 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 1024 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 1024 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1024=100%.
4. We know, that x is 585% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=585%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1024=100%
2) x=585%
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:
1024/x=100%/585%
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 585% of 1024

1024/x=100/585
(1024/x)*x=(100/585)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1024=0.17094017094017*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.17094017094017) to get x
1024/0.17094017094017=x
5990.4=x
x=5990.4

now we have:
585% of 1024=5990.4
