What is 21.25 percent of 672 - 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 672 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 672 is 100%, so we can write it down as 672=100%.
4. We know, that x is 21.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=21.25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 672=100%
2) x=21.25%
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:
672/x=100%/21.25%
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 21.25% of 672

672/x=100/21.25
(672/x)*x=(100/21.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
672=4.7058823529412*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.7058823529412) to get x
672/4.7058823529412=x
142.8=x
x=142.8

now we have:
21.25% of 672=142.8
