What is 12.82 percent of 298.97 - 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 298.97 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 298.97 is 100%, so we can write it down as 298.97=100%.
4. We know, that x is 12.82% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=12.82%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 298.97=100%
2) x=12.82%
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:
298.97/x=100%/12.82%
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 12.82% of 298.97

298.97/x=100/12.82
(298.97/x)*x=(100/12.82)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
298.97=7.8003120124805*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.8003120124805) to get x
298.97/7.8003120124805=x
38.327954=x
x=38.327954

now we have:
12.82% of 298.97=38.327954
