What is 30000 percent of 588 - 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 588 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 588 is 100%, so we can write it down as 588=100%.
4. We know, that x is 30000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=30000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 588=100%
2) x=30000%
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:
588/x=100%/30000%
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 30000% of 588

588/x=100/30000
(588/x)*x=(100/30000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
588=0.0033333333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0033333333333333) to get x
588/0.0033333333333333=x
176400=x
x=176400

now we have:
30000% of 588=176400
