What is 0.0834 percent of 842 - 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 842 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 842 is 100%, so we can write it down as 842=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.0834% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.0834%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 842=100%
2) x=0.0834%
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:
842/x=100%/0.0834%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 0.0834% of 842

842/x=100/0.0834
(842/x)*x=(100/0.0834)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
842=1199.0407673861*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1199.0407673861) to get x
842/1199.0407673861=x
0.702228=x
x=0.702228

now we have:
0.0834% of 842=0.702228
