What is 875 percent of 1340 - 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 1340 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 1340 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1340=100%.
4. We know, that x is 875% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=875%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1340=100%
2) x=875%
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:
1340/x=100%/875%
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 875% of 1340

1340/x=100/875
(1340/x)*x=(100/875)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1340=0.11428571428571*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.11428571428571) to get x
1340/0.11428571428571=x
11725=x
x=11725

now we have:
875% of 1340=11725
