What is 15.12 percent of 2998.58 - 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 2998.58 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 2998.58 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2998.58=100%.
4. We know, that x is 15.12% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=15.12%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2998.58=100%
2) x=15.12%
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:
2998.58/x=100%/15.12%
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 15.12% of 2998.58

2998.58/x=100/15.12
(2998.58/x)*x=(100/15.12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2998.58=6.6137566137566*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.6137566137566) to get x
2998.58/6.6137566137566=x
453.385296=x
x=453.385296

now we have:
