What is 300 percent of 294.5 - 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 294.5 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 294.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 294.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 300% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=300%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 294.5=100%
2) x=300%
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:
294.5/x=100%/300%
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 300% of 294.5

294.5/x=100/300
(294.5/x)*x=(100/300)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
294.5=0.33333333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.33333333333333) to get x
294.5/0.33333333333333=x
883.5=x
x=883.5

now we have:
300% of 294.5=883.5
