What is 299.99 percent of 599.99 - 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 599.99 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 599.99 is 100%, so we can write it down as 599.99=100%.
4. We know, that x is 299.99% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=299.99%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 599.99=100%
2) x=299.99%
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:
599.99/x=100%/299.99%
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 299.99% of 599.99

599.99/x=100/299.99
(599.99/x)*x=(100/299.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
599.99=0.33334444481483*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.33334444481483) to get x
599.99/0.33334444481483=x
1799.910001=x
x=1799.910001

now we have:
299.99% of 599.99=1799.910001
