What is 4.23 percent of 802.4 - 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 802.4 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 802.4 is 100%, so we can write it down as 802.4=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.23% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.23%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 802.4=100%
2) x=4.23%
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:
802.4/x=100%/4.23%
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 4.23% of 802.4

802.4/x=100/4.23
(802.4/x)*x=(100/4.23)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
802.4=23.640661938534*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23.640661938534) to get x
802.4/23.640661938534=x
33.94152=x
x=33.94152

now we have:
4.23% of 802.4=33.94152
