What is 17.95 percent of 299.05 - 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 299.05 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 299.05 is 100%, so we can write it down as 299.05=100%.
4. We know, that x is 17.95% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=17.95%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 299.05=100%
2) x=17.95%
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:
299.05/x=100%/17.95%
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 17.95% of 299.05

299.05/x=100/17.95
(299.05/x)*x=(100/17.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
299.05=5.5710306406685*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.5710306406685) to get x
299.05/5.5710306406685=x
53.679475=x
x=53.679475

now we have:
17.95% of 299.05=53.679475
