What is 9800 percent of 1520 - 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 1520 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 1520 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1520=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9800% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9800%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1520=100%
2) x=9800%
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:
1520/x=100%/9800%
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 9800% of 1520

1520/x=100/9800
(1520/x)*x=(100/9800)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1520=0.010204081632653*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.010204081632653) to get x
1520/0.010204081632653=x
148960=x
x=148960

now we have:
9800% of 1520=148960
