What is 0.85 percent of 4204.2 - 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 4204.2 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 4204.2 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4204.2=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.85% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.85%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4204.2=100%
2) x=0.85%
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:
4204.2/x=100%/0.85%
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 0.85% of 4204.2

4204.2/x=100/0.85
(4204.2/x)*x=(100/0.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4204.2=117.64705882353*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (117.64705882353) to get x
4204.2/117.64705882353=x
35.7357=x
x=35.7357

now we have:
0.85% of 4204.2=35.7357
