What is 1496 percent of 42100 - 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 42100 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 42100 is 100%, so we can write it down as 42100=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1496% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1496%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 42100=100%
2) x=1496%
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:
42100/x=100%/1496%
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 1496% of 42100

42100/x=100/1496
(42100/x)*x=(100/1496)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
42100=0.066844919786096*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.066844919786096) to get x
42100/0.066844919786096=x
629816=x
x=629816

now we have:
1496% of 42100=629816
