What is 69.99 percent of 2799.95 - 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 2799.95 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 2799.95 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2799.95=100%.
4. We know, that x is 69.99% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=69.99%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2799.95=100%
2) x=69.99%
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:
2799.95/x=100%/69.99%
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 69.99% of 2799.95

2799.95/x=100/69.99
(2799.95/x)*x=(100/69.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2799.95=1.4287755393628*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4287755393628) to get x
2799.95/1.4287755393628=x
1959.685005=x
x=1959.685005

now we have:
69.99% of 2799.95=1959.685005
