What is 8.32 percent of 8400 - 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 8400 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 8400 is 100%, so we can write it down as 8400=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.32% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.32%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 8400=100%
2) x=8.32%
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:
8400/x=100%/8.32%
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 8.32% of 8400

8400/x=100/8.32
(8400/x)*x=(100/8.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
8400=12.019230769231*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.019230769231) to get x
8400/12.019230769231=x
698.88=x
x=698.88

now we have:
8.32% of 8400=698.88
