What is 894 percent of 5042 - 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 5042 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 5042 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5042=100%.
4. We know, that x is 894% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=894%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5042=100%
2) x=894%
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:
5042/x=100%/894%
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 894% of 5042

5042/x=100/894
(5042/x)*x=(100/894)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5042=0.11185682326622*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.11185682326622) to get x
5042/0.11185682326622=x
45075.48=x
x=45075.48

now we have:
894% of 5042=45075.48
