What is 1.43 percent of 84 - 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 84 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 84 is 100%, so we can write it down as 84=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.43% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.43%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 84=100%
2) x=1.43%
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:
84/x=100%/1.43%
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 1.43% of 84

84/x=100/1.43
(84/x)*x=(100/1.43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
84=69.93006993007*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (69.93006993007) to get x
84/69.93006993007=x
1.2012=x
x=1.2012

now we have:
1.43% of 84=1.2012
