What is 2.93 percent of 2429.51 - 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 2429.51 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 2429.51 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2429.51=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.93% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.93%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2429.51=100%
2) x=2.93%
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:
2429.51/x=100%/2.93%
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 2.93% of 2429.51

2429.51/x=100/2.93
(2429.51/x)*x=(100/2.93)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2429.51=34.129692832765*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (34.129692832765) to get x
2429.51/34.129692832765=x
71.184643=x
x=71.184643

now we have:
2.93% of 2429.51=71.184643
