299.95 is what percent of 1.1995 - 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 1.1995 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 1.1995, so we can write it down as 100%=1.1995.
4. We know, that x% equals 299.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=299.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.1995
2) x%=299.95
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%=1.1995/299.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 299.95 is what percent of 1.1995

100%/x%=1.1995/299.95
(100/x)*x=(1.1995/299.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0039989998333056*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0039989998333056) to get x
100/0.0039989998333056=x
25006.252605252=x
x=25006.252605252

now we have:
299.95 is 25006.252605252% of 1.1995
