What is 83.3333 percent of 384 - 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 384 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 384 is 100%, so we can write it down as 384=100%.
4. We know, that x is 83.3333% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=83.3333%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 384=100%
2) x=83.3333%
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:
384/x=100%/83.3333%
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 83.3333% of 384

384/x=100/83.3333
(384/x)*x=(100/83.3333)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
384=1.2000004800002*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2000004800002) to get x
384/1.2000004800002=x
319.999872=x
x=319.999872

now we have:
83.3333% of 384=319.999872
