What is 29.99 percent of 89.98 - 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 89.98 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 89.98 is 100%, so we can write it down as 89.98=100%.
4. We know, that x is 29.99% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=29.99%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 89.98=100%
2) x=29.99%
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:
89.98/x=100%/29.99%
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 29.99% of 89.98

89.98/x=100/29.99
(89.98/x)*x=(100/29.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
89.98=3.3344448149383*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.3344448149383) to get x
89.98/3.3344448149383=x
26.985002=x
x=26.985002

now we have:
29.99% of 89.98=26.985002
