What is 2.98 percent of 1364 - 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 1364 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 1364 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1364=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.98% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.98%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1364=100%
2) x=2.98%
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:
1364/x=100%/2.98%
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 2.98% of 1364

1364/x=100/2.98
(1364/x)*x=(100/2.98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1364=33.557046979866*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (33.557046979866) to get x
1364/33.557046979866=x
40.6472=x
x=40.6472

now we have:
2.98% of 1364=40.6472
