What is 80 percent of 1807 - 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 1807 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 1807 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1807=100%.
4. We know, that x is 80% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=80%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1807=100%
2) x=80%
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:
1807/x=100%/80%
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 80% of 1807

1807/x=100/80
(1807/x)*x=(100/80)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1807=1.25*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.25) to get x
1807/1.25=x
1445.6=x
x=1445.6

now we have:
80% of 1807=1445.6
