What is 664 percent of 842 - 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 842 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 842 is 100%, so we can write it down as 842=100%.
4. We know, that x is 664% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=664%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 842=100%
2) x=664%
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:
842/x=100%/664%
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 664% of 842

842/x=100/664
(842/x)*x=(100/664)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
842=0.15060240963855*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.15060240963855) to get x
842/0.15060240963855=x
5590.88=x
x=5590.88

now we have:
664% of 842=5590.88
