The following question is of the type "How much X percent of W", where W is the whole amount and X is the percentage figure or rate".
Let's say that you need to find 180 percent of 3812. What are the steps?
Step 1: first determine the value of the whole amount. We assume that the whole amount is 3812.
Step 2: determine the percentage, which is 180.
Step 3: Convert the percentage 180% to its decimal form by dividing 180 into 100 to get the decimal number 1.8:
180100 = 1.8
Notice that dividing into 100 is the same as moving the decimal point two places to the left.
180.0 → 18.00 → 1.80
Step 4: Finally, find the portion by multiplying the decimal form, found in the previous step, by the whole amount:
1.8 x 3812 = 6861.6 (answer).
The steps above are expressed by the formula:
P = W × X%100
This formula says that:
"To find the portion or the part from the whole amount, multiply the whole by the percentage, then divide the result by 100".
The symbol % means the percentage expressed in a fraction or multiple of one hundred.
Replacing these values in the formula, we get:
P = 3812 × 180100 = 3812 × 1.8 = 6861.6 (answer)
Therefore, the answer is 6861.6 is 180 percent of 3812.
