What is 2999 percent of 8.93 - 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 8.93 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 8.93 is 100%, so we can write it down as 8.93=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2999% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2999%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 8.93=100%
2) x=2999%
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:
8.93/x=100%/2999%
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 2999% of 8.93

8.93/x=100/2999
(8.93/x)*x=(100/2999)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
8.93=0.033344448149383*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.033344448149383) to get x
8.93/0.033344448149383=x
267.8107=x
x=267.8107

now we have:
2999% of 8.93=267.8107
