What is 4.68 percent of 840 - 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 840 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 840 is 100%, so we can write it down as 840=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.68% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.68%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 840=100%
2) x=4.68%
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:
840/x=100%/4.68%
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 4.68% of 840

840/x=100/4.68
(840/x)*x=(100/4.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
840=21.367521367521*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (21.367521367521) to get x
840/21.367521367521=x
39.312=x
x=39.312

now we have:
4.68% of 840=39.312
