2.98 is what percent of 3229 - 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 3229 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 100% equals 3229, so we can write it down as 100%=3229.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.98 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.98.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3229
2) x%=2.98
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:
100%/x%=3229/2.98
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.98 is what percent of 3229

100%/x%=3229/2.98
(100/x)*x=(3229/2.98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1083.5570469799*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1083.5570469799) to get x
100/1083.5570469799=x
0.09228863425209=x
x=0.09228863425209

now we have:
2.98 is 0.09228863425209% of 3229
