What is 29990 percent of 20 - 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 20 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 20 is 100%, so we can write it down as 20=100%.
4. We know, that x is 29990% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=29990%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 20=100%
2) x=29990%
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:
20/x=100%/29990%
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 29990% of 20

20/x=100/29990
(20/x)*x=(100/29990)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
20=0.0033344448149383*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0033344448149383) to get x
20/0.0033344448149383=x
5998=x
x=5998

now we have:
29990% of 20=5998
