299.96 is what percent of 16995 - 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 16995 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 16995, so we can write it down as 100%=16995.
4. We know, that x% equals 299.96 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=299.96.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16995
2) x%=299.96
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%=16995/299.96
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 299.96 is what percent of 16995

100%/x%=16995/299.96
(100/x)*x=(16995/299.96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=56.657554340579*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (56.657554340579) to get x
100/56.657554340579=x
1.7649897028538=x
x=1.7649897028538

now we have:
