What is 2.9 percent of 18003.57 - 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 18003.57 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 18003.57 is 100%, so we can write it down as 18003.57=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.9% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.9%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 18003.57=100%
2) x=2.9%
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:
18003.57/x=100%/2.9%
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 2.9% of 18003.57

18003.57/x=100/2.9
(18003.57/x)*x=(100/2.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
18003.57=34.48275862069*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (34.48275862069) to get x
18003.57/34.48275862069=x
522.10353=x
x=522.10353

now we have:
2.9% of 18003.57=522.10353
