What is 4200 percent of 1.3 - 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 1.3 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 1.3 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1.3=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4200% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4200%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1.3=100%
2) x=4200%
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:
1.3/x=100%/4200%
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 4200% of 1.3

1.3/x=100/4200
(1.3/x)*x=(100/4200)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1.3=0.023809523809524*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.023809523809524) to get x
1.3/0.023809523809524=x
54.6=x
x=54.6

now we have:
4200% of 1.3=54.6
