What is 2.9998 percent of 74.66 - 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 74.66 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 74.66 is 100%, so we can write it down as 74.66=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.9998% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.9998%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 74.66=100%
2) x=2.9998%
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:
74.66/x=100%/2.9998%
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 2.9998% of 74.66

74.66/x=100/2.9998
(74.66/x)*x=(100/2.9998)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
74.66=33.335555703714*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (33.335555703714) to get x
74.66/33.335555703714=x
2.23965068=x
x=2.23965068

now we have:
2.9998% of 74.66=2.23965068
