What is 49.68 percent of 5980000 - 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 5980000 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 5980000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5980000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 49.68% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=49.68%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5980000=100%
2) x=49.68%
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:
5980000/x=100%/49.68%
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 49.68% of 5980000

5980000/x=100/49.68
(5980000/x)*x=(100/49.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5980000=2.0128824476651*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0128824476651) to get x
5980000/2.0128824476651=x
2970864=x
x=2970864

now we have:
49.68% of 5980000=2970864
