What is 10.85 percent of 297125 - 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 297125 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 297125 is 100%, so we can write it down as 297125=100%.
4. We know, that x is 10.85% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=10.85%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 297125=100%
2) x=10.85%
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:
297125/x=100%/10.85%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
