What is 8.4 percent of 23547 - 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 23547 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 23547 is 100%, so we can write it down as 23547=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.4%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 23547=100%
2) x=8.4%
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:
23547/x=100%/8.4%
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 8.4% of 23547

23547/x=100/8.4
(23547/x)*x=(100/8.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
23547=11.904761904762*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.904761904762) to get x
23547/11.904761904762=x
1977.948=x
x=1977.948

now we have:
8.4% of 23547=1977.948
