What is 8.34 percent of 60000 - 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 60000 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 60000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 60000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.34% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.34%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 60000=100%
2) x=8.34%
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:
60000/x=100%/8.34%
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 8.34% of 60000

60000/x=100/8.34
(60000/x)*x=(100/8.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
60000=11.990407673861*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.990407673861) to get x
60000/11.990407673861=x
5004=x
x=5004

now we have:
8.34% of 60000=5004
