What value divided by 84 equals 99?

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 84 gives a result of 99 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{x}{84}=99$

1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 84: $\frac{84x}{\mathrm{84}}=84\times 99$
2. $\frac{84x}{\mathrm{84}}$ is equivalent to $\frac{84}{\mathrm{84}}x$, which simplifies to $1x$ (or just $x$).
3. Thus: $x=84\times 99=8316$

So, if the divisor is 84 and the quotient is 99, the dividend is 8316.
