What is 108672 percent of 42 - 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 42 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 42 is 100%, so we can write it down as 42=100%.
4. We know, that x is 108672% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=108672%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 42=100%
2) x=108672%
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:
42/x=100%/108672%
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 108672% of 42

42/x=100/108672
(42/x)*x=(100/108672)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
42=0.00092020023557126*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.00092020023557126) to get x
42/0.00092020023557126=x
45642.24=x
x=45642.24

now we have:
108672% of 42=45642.24
