What is 18.99 percent of 1573.98 - 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 1573.98 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 1573.98 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1573.98=100%.
4. We know, that x is 18.99% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=18.99%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1573.98=100%
2) x=18.99%
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:
1573.98/x=100%/18.99%
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 18.99% of 1573.98

1573.98/x=100/18.99
(1573.98/x)*x=(100/18.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1573.98=5.2659294365456*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.2659294365456) to get x
1573.98/5.2659294365456=x
298.898802=x
x=298.898802

now we have:
