What is 39.52 percent of 298 - 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 298 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 298 is 100%, so we can write it down as 298=100%.
4. We know, that x is 39.52% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=39.52%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 298=100%
2) x=39.52%
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:
298/x=100%/39.52%
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 39.52% of 298

298/x=100/39.52
(298/x)*x=(100/39.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
298=2.5303643724696*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.5303643724696) to get x
298/2.5303643724696=x
117.7696=x
x=117.7696

now we have:
39.52% of 298=117.7696
