What is 0.99 percent of 2910 - 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 2910 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 2910 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2910=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.99% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.99%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2910=100%
2) x=0.99%
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:
2910/x=100%/0.99%
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 0.99% of 2910

2910/x=100/0.99
(2910/x)*x=(100/0.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2910=101.0101010101*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (101.0101010101) to get x
2910/101.0101010101=x
28.809=x
x=28.809

now we have:
0.99% of 2910=28.809
