What is 1836 percent of 842 - 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 842 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 842 is 100%, so we can write it down as 842=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1836% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1836%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 842=100%
2) x=1836%
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:
842/x=100%/1836%
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 1836% of 842

842/x=100/1836
(842/x)*x=(100/1836)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
842=0.054466230936819*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.054466230936819) to get x
842/0.054466230936819=x
15459.12=x
x=15459.12

now we have:
1836% of 842=15459.12
