What is 815 percent of 918 - 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 918 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 918 is 100%, so we can write it down as 918=100%.
4. We know, that x is 815% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=815%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 918=100%
2) x=815%
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:
918/x=100%/815%
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 815% of 918

918/x=100/815
(918/x)*x=(100/815)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
918=0.12269938650307*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.12269938650307) to get x
918/0.12269938650307=x
7481.7=x
x=7481.7

now we have:
815% of 918=7481.7
