What is 5.96 percent of 29578 - 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 29578 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 29578 is 100%, so we can write it down as 29578=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.96% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.96%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 29578=100%
2) x=5.96%
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:
29578/x=100%/5.96%
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 5.96% of 29578

29578/x=100/5.96
(29578/x)*x=(100/5.96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
29578=16.778523489933*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.778523489933) to get x
29578/16.778523489933=x
1762.8488=x
x=1762.8488

now we have:
5.96% of 29578=1762.8488
