What is 300000 percent of 2.99 - 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 2.99 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 2.99 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2.99=100%.
4. We know, that x is 300000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=300000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2.99=100%
2) x=300000%
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:
2.99/x=100%/300000%
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 300000% of 2.99

2.99/x=100/300000
(2.99/x)*x=(100/300000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2.99=0.00033333333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.00033333333333333) to get x
2.99/0.00033333333333333=x
8970=x
x=8970

now we have:
300000% of 2.99=8970
