What is 5676 percent of 42 - 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 42 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 42 is 100%, so we can write it down as 42=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5676% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5676%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 42=100%
2) x=5676%
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:
42/x=100%/5676%
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 5676% of 42

42/x=100/5676
(42/x)*x=(100/5676)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
42=0.017618040873855*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.017618040873855) to get x
42/0.017618040873855=x
2383.92=x
x=2383.92

now we have:
5676% of 42=2383.92
