What is 0.288 percent of 2900 - 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 2900 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 2900 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2900=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.288% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.288%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2900=100%
2) x=0.288%
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:
2900/x=100%/0.288%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 0.288% of 2900

2900/x=100/0.288
(2900/x)*x=(100/0.288)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2900=347.22222222222*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (347.22222222222) to get x
2900/347.22222222222=x
8.352=x
x=8.352

now we have:
0.288% of 2900=8.352
