What is 5.985 percent of 29.07 - 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 29.07 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 29.07 is 100%, so we can write it down as 29.07=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.985% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.985%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 29.07=100%
2) x=5.985%
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:
29.07/x=100%/5.985%
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 5.985% of 29.07

29.07/x=100/5.985
(29.07/x)*x=(100/5.985)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
29.07=16.708437761069*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.708437761069) to get x
29.07/16.708437761069=x
1.7398395=x
x=1.7398395

now we have:
5.985% of 29.07=1.7398395
