What is 42.0168067227 percent of 238 - 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 238 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 238 is 100%, so we can write it down as 238=100%.
4. We know, that x is 42.0168067227% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=42.0168067227%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 238=100%
2) x=42.0168067227%
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:
238/x=100%/42.0168067227%
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 42.0168067227% of 238

238/x=100/42.0168067227
(238/x)*x=(100/42.0168067227)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
238=2.3799999999994*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3799999999994) to get x
238/2.3799999999994=x
100.00000000003=x
x=100.00000000003

now we have:
42.0168067227% of 238=100.00000000003
