What is 3300 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 3300% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3300%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2.99=100%
2) x=3300%
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%/3300%
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 3300% of 2.99

2.99/x=100/3300
(2.99/x)*x=(100/3300)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2.99=0.03030303030303*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.03030303030303) to get x
2.99/0.03030303030303=x
98.67=x
x=98.67

now we have:
3300% of 2.99=98.67
