84 is what percent of 833 - 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 833 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 833, so we can write it down as 100%=833.
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%=833
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%=833/84
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 833

100%/x%=833/84
(100/x)*x=(833/84)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.9166666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.9166666666667) to get x
100/9.9166666666667=x
10.084033613445=x
x=10.084033613445

now we have:
84 is 10.084033613445% of 833
