Explanation

To solve the problem \( 83\% \text{ of } 6242 \times 12\% \text{ of } 225 \), we can break it down into steps.

### Step 1: Convert percentages to fractions
First, we convert the percentages into fractions:
- \( 83\% = \frac{83}{100} \)
- \( 12\% = \frac{12}{100} \)

### Step 2: Write the expression
Now, we can write the expression as:
\[ x = \left(\frac{83}{100} \times 6242\right) \times \left(\frac{12}{100} \times 225\right) \]

### Step 3: Calculate \( 83\% \text{ of } 6242 \)
Next, we calculate \( 83\% \text{ of } 6242 \):
\[ \frac{83}{100} \times 6242 = \frac{83 \times 6242}{100} \]
Calculating \( 83 \times 6242 \):
\[ 83 \times 6242 = 518086 \]
Thus,
\[ 83\% \text{ of } 6242 = \frac{518086}{100} \]

### Step 4: Calculate \( 12\% \text{ of } 225 \)
Now, we calculate \( 12\% \text{ of } 225 \):
\[ \frac{12}{100} \times 225 = \frac{12 \times 225}{100} \]
Calculating \( 12 \times 225 \):
\[ 12 \times 225 = 2700 \]
Thus,
\[ 12\% \text{ of } 225 = \frac{2700}{100} \]

### Step 5: Combine the results
Now we can combine the results:
\[ x = \left(\frac{518086}{100}\right) \times \left(\frac{2700}{100}\right) \]
This simplifies to:
\[ x = \frac{518086 \times 2700}{10000} \]

### Step 6: Calculate \( 518086 \times 2700 \)
Now we calculate \( 518086 \times 2700 \):
\[ 518086 \times 2700 = 1398832200 \]

### Step 7: Divide by 10000
Now we divide by 10000:
\[ x = \frac{1398832200}{10000} = 139883.22 \]

### Final Answer
Thus, the final answer is:
\[ \boxed{139883.22} \]
