What is 4.2665 percent of 16984 - 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 16984 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 16984 is 100%, so we can write it down as 16984=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.2665% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.2665%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 16984=100%
2) x=4.2665%
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:
16984/x=100%/4.2665%
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 4.2665% of 16984

16984/x=100/4.2665
(16984/x)*x=(100/4.2665)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
16984=23.438415563108*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23.438415563108) to get x
16984/23.438415563108=x
724.62236=x
x=724.62236

now we have:
