What is 7.999 percent of 299900 - 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 299900 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 299900 is 100%, so we can write it down as 299900=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.999% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.999%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 299900=100%
2) x=7.999%
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:
299900/x=100%/7.999%
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 7.999% of 299900

299900/x=100/7.999
(299900/x)*x=(100/7.999)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
299900=12.501562695337*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.501562695337) to get x
299900/12.501562695337=x
23989.001=x
x=23989.001

now we have:
7.999% of 299900=23989.001
