8.4 is what percent of 4675000 - 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 4675000 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 4675000, so we can write it down as 100%=4675000.
4. We know, that x% equals 8.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4675000
2) x%=8.4
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%=4675000/8.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8.4 is what percent of 4675000

100%/x%=4675000/8.4
(100/x)*x=(4675000/8.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=556547.61904762*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (556547.61904762) to get x
100/556547.61904762=x
0.00017967914438503=x
x=0.00017967914438503

now we have:
8.4 is 0.00017967914438503% of 4675000
