What is 7.85 percent of 1900 - 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 1900 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 1900 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1900=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.85% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.85%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1900=100%
2) x=7.85%
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:
1900/x=100%/7.85%
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 7.85% of 1900

1900/x=100/7.85
(1900/x)*x=(100/7.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1900=12.738853503185*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.738853503185) to get x
1900/12.738853503185=x
149.15=x
x=149.15

now we have:
7.85% of 1900=149.15
