What is 4200 percent of 84900 - 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 84900 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 84900 is 100%, so we can write it down as 84900=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) 84900=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:
84900/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 84900

84900/x=100/4200
(84900/x)*x=(100/4200)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
84900=0.023809523809524*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.023809523809524) to get x
84900/0.023809523809524=x
3565800=x
x=3565800

now we have:
4200% of 84900=3565800
