What is 67 percent of 2.96 - 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 2.96 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 2.96 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2.96=100%.
4. We know, that x is 67% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=67%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2.96=100%
2) x=67%
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:
2.96/x=100%/67%
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 67% of 2.96

2.96/x=100/67
(2.96/x)*x=(100/67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2.96=1.4925373134328*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4925373134328) to get x
2.96/1.4925373134328=x
1.9832=x
x=1.9832

now we have:
67% of 2.96=1.9832
