What is 19.98 percent of 149.95 - 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 149.95 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 149.95 is 100%, so we can write it down as 149.95=100%.
4. We know, that x is 19.98% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=19.98%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 149.95=100%
2) x=19.98%
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:
149.95/x=100%/19.98%
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 19.98% of 149.95

149.95/x=100/19.98
(149.95/x)*x=(100/19.98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
149.95=5.005005005005*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.005005005005) to get x
149.95/5.005005005005=x
29.96001=x
x=29.96001

now we have:
19.98% of 149.95=29.96001
