What is 940 percent of 188 - 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 188 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 188 is 100%, so we can write it down as 188=100%.
4. We know, that x is 940% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=940%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 188=100%
2) x=940%
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:
188/x=100%/940%
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 940% of 188

188/x=100/940
(188/x)*x=(100/940)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
188=0.1063829787234*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.1063829787234) to get x
188/0.1063829787234=x
1767.2=x
x=1767.2

now we have:
940% of 188=1767.2
