What is 84 percent of 133.3 - 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 133.3 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 133.3 is 100%, so we can write it down as 133.3=100%.
4. We know, that x is 84% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=84%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 133.3=100%
2) x=84%
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:
133.3/x=100%/84%
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 84% of 133.3

133.3/x=100/84
(133.3/x)*x=(100/84)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
133.3=1.19047619048*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.19047619048) to get x
133.3/1.19047619048=x
111.972=x
x=111.972

now we have:
84% of 133.3=111.972
