What is 0.4236 percent of 7.982 - 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 7.982 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 7.982 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7.982=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.4236% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.4236%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7.982=100%
2) x=0.4236%
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:
7.982/x=100%/0.4236%
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 0.4236% of 7.982

7.982/x=100/0.4236
(7.982/x)*x=(100/0.4236)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7.982=236.07176581681*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (236.07176581681) to get x
7.982/236.07176581681=x
0.033811752=x
x=0.033811752

now we have:
