What is proportion?

In general, the word "proportion" is used to describe a part, share, or amount that is compared to an entire. Two ratios are in proportion, according to the definition of proportion, when they are equal. Two ratios or fractions being equal is expressed by an equation or a statement.

Here,

If 78% of x (any number) equals 42, then we need to set this up as an equation in order to figure it out.

1) Writing down 78% as a fraction. Taking into account that we refer to a product when we say 78% of some amount (x).

78%=78/100 \s=>78x/100=42

2) Afterward, we can continue: 

100*78x/100=42*100

78x=4200

x=4200/78

x=53.84

Therefore the solution of 78% of what number is 42 is 53.84.
