What is 28.95 percent of 297 - 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 297 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 297 is 100%, so we can write it down as 297=100%.
4. We know, that x is 28.95% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=28.95%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 297=100%
2) x=28.95%
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:
297/x=100%/28.95%
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 28.95% of 297

297/x=100/28.95
(297/x)*x=(100/28.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
297=3.454231433506*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.454231433506) to get x
297/3.454231433506=x
85.9815=x
x=85.9815

now we have:
28.95% of 297=85.9815
