These are my steps but I don't think I did it the right way.

1,300,000

^

18.6% of ?

18.6/100 = 1,300,000/x

18.6x = 1,300,000 x 100

18.6x = 1,300,000

x = 1,300,000/ 18.6

I guess this is the part were I get stuck....

It's easier to just say 18.6% = 0.186 and so 18.6% of 1,300,000 is simply:

0.186*1,300,000 = 241,800

or, doing it the way you were doing above:

100% = 1,300,0000
18.6% = x

x = (1,300,000*18.6%)/100%

which gives the same answer.

Hope that helps.

It seems like you're trying to solve for x in the equation 18.6% of x equals 1,300,000. You've correctly set up the equation 18.6x = 1,300,000, but you got stuck at finding the value of x.

To proceed, you need to divide both sides of the equation by 18.6 in order to isolate x. Let's do that:

x = 1,300,000 / 18.6

To evaluate this division, simply divide 1,300,000 by 18.6:

x ≈ 69,892.4731 (rounded to 4 decimal places)

Therefore, the value of x that satisfies the equation is approximately 69,892.4731.

I hope this helps! Is there anything else you would like me to explain?
