The model of propagation of strong shock waves (SW) in a gas with inhomogeneous density is proposed. Partial differential equations of this model are reduced to ordinary differential equations. The relation between the speed of the SW $D_{SW}$ and density of the undisturbed medium $\rho_{0}$ is determined. The present results are compared with previous numerical investigations.
