What is 2134 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 2134% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2134%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 42=100%
2) x=2134%
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%/2134%
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 2134% of 42

42/x=100/2134
(42/x)*x=(100/2134)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
42=0.046860356138707*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.046860356138707) to get x
42/0.046860356138707=x
896.28=x
x=896.28

now we have:
2134% of 42=896.28
