What is 2.98 percent of 28740 - 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 28740 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 28740 is 100%, so we can write it down as 28740=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) 28740=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:
28740/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 28740

28740/x=100/2.98
(28740/x)*x=(100/2.98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
28740=33.557046979866*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (33.557046979866) to get x
28740/33.557046979866=x
856.452=x
x=856.452

now we have:
2.98% of 28740=856.452
