What is 2142 percent of 3722 - 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 3722 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 3722 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3722=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2142% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2142%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3722=100%
2) x=2142%
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:
3722/x=100%/2142%
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 2142% of 3722

3722/x=100/2142
(3722/x)*x=(100/2142)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3722=0.046685340802988*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.046685340802988) to get x
3722/0.046685340802988=x
79725.24=x
x=79725.24

now we have:
2142% of 3722=79725.24
