What is 3.93 percent of 2999 - 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 2999 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 2999 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2999=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.93% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.93%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2999=100%
2) x=3.93%
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:
2999/x=100%/3.93%
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 3.93% of 2999

2999/x=100/3.93
(2999/x)*x=(100/3.93)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2999=25.445292620865*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (25.445292620865) to get x
2999/25.445292620865=x
117.8607=x
x=117.8607

now we have:
3.93% of 2999=117.8607
