What is 74.5 percent of 1837 - 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 1837 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 1837 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1837=100%.
4. We know, that x is 74.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=74.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1837=100%
2) x=74.5%
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:
1837/x=100%/74.5%
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 74.5% of 1837

1837/x=100/74.5
(1837/x)*x=(100/74.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1837=1.3422818791946*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3422818791946) to get x
1837/1.3422818791946=x
1368.565=x
x=1368.565

now we have:
74.5% of 1837=1368.565
