What is 4240 percent of 1.32 - 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 1.32 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 1.32 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1.32=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4240% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4240%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1.32=100%
2) x=4240%
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:
1.32/x=100%/4240%
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 4240% of 1.32

1.32/x=100/4240
(1.32/x)*x=(100/4240)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1.32=0.023584905660377*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.023584905660377) to get x
1.32/0.023584905660377=x
55.968=x
x=55.968

now we have:
4240% of 1.32=55.968
