What is 2958 percent of 2.5 - 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 2.5 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 2.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2958% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2958%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2.5=100%
2) x=2958%
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:
2.5/x=100%/2958%
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 2958% of 2.5

2.5/x=100/2958
(2.5/x)*x=(100/2958)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2.5=0.033806626098715*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.033806626098715) to get x
2.5/0.033806626098715=x
73.95=x
x=73.95

now we have:
2958% of 2.5=73.95
