0.84 is what percent of 12.3201 - 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 12.3201 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 100% equals 12.3201, so we can write it down as 100%=12.3201.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.84 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.84.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=12.3201
2) x%=0.84
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:
100%/x%=12.3201/0.84
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.84 is what percent of 12.3201

100%/x%=12.3201/0.84
(100/x)*x=(12.3201/0.84)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.666785714286*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.666785714286) to get x
100/14.666785714286=x
6.8181264762461=x
x=6.8181264762461

now we have:
