What is 2.85 percent of 3090 - 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 3090 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 3090 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3090=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.85% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.85%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3090=100%
2) x=2.85%
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:
3090/x=100%/2.85%
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 2.85% of 3090

3090/x=100/2.85
(3090/x)*x=(100/2.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3090=35.087719298246*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (35.087719298246) to get x
3090/35.087719298246=x
88.065=x
x=88.065

now we have:
2.85% of 3090=88.065
