8.4 is what percent of 7000000 - 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 7000000 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 7000000, so we can write it down as 100%=7000000.
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%=7000000
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%=7000000/8.4
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 7000000

100%/x%=7000000/8.4
(100/x)*x=(7000000/8.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=833333.33333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (833333.33333333) to get x
100/833333.33333333=x
0.00012=x
x=0.00012

now we have:
8.4 is 0.00012% of 7000000
