What is 38.78 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 38.78% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=38.78%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2999=100%
2) x=38.78%
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%/38.78%
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 38.78% of 2999

2999/x=100/38.78
(2999/x)*x=(100/38.78)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2999=2.5786487880351*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.5786487880351) to get x
2999/2.5786487880351=x
1163.0122=x
x=1163.0122

now we have:
38.78% of 2999=1163.0122
