What is 49.15 percent of 2950 - 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 2950 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 2950 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2950=100%.
4. We know, that x is 49.15% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=49.15%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2950=100%
2) x=49.15%
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:
2950/x=100%/49.15%
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 49.15% of 2950

2950/x=100/49.15
(2950/x)*x=(100/49.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2950=2.0345879959308*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0345879959308) to get x
2950/2.0345879959308=x
1449.925=x
x=1449.925

now we have:
49.15% of 2950=1449.925
