What is 29 percent of 6098 - 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 6098 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 6098 is 100%, so we can write it down as 6098=100%.
4. We know, that x is 29% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=29%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 6098=100%
2) x=29%
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:
6098/x=100%/29%
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 29% of 6098

6098/x=100/29
(6098/x)*x=(100/29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
6098=3.44827586207*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.44827586207) to get x
6098/3.44827586207=x
1768.42=x
x=1768.42

now we have:
29% of 6098=1768.42
