What is 42000 percent of 798000 - 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 798000 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 798000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 798000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 42000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=42000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 798000=100%
2) x=42000%
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:
798000/x=100%/42000%
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 42000% of 798000

798000/x=100/42000
(798000/x)*x=(100/42000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
798000=0.0023809523809524*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0023809523809524) to get x
798000/0.0023809523809524=x
335160000=x
x=335160000

now we have:
42000% of 798000=335160000
