What is 599.99 percent of 389.99 - 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 389.99 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 389.99 is 100%, so we can write it down as 389.99=100%.
4. We know, that x is 599.99% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=599.99%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 389.99=100%
2) x=599.99%
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:
389.99/x=100%/599.99%
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 599.99% of 389.99

389.99/x=100/599.99
(389.99/x)*x=(100/599.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
389.99=0.16666944449074*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.16666944449074) to get x
389.99/0.16666944449074=x
2339.901001=x
x=2339.901001

now we have:
599.99% of 389.99=2339.901001
