84 is what percent of 22364 - 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 22364 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 22364, so we can write it down as 100%=22364.
4. We know, that x% equals 84 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=84.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=22364
2) x%=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%=22364/84
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 84 is what percent of 22364

100%/x%=22364/84
(100/x)*x=(22364/84)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=266.2380952381*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (266.2380952381) to get x
100/266.2380952381=x
0.37560364872116=x
x=0.37560364872116

now we have:
84 is 0.37560364872116% of 22364
