What is 8.412 percent of 299.99 - 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 299.99 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 299.99 is 100%, so we can write it down as 299.99=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.412% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.412%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 299.99=100%
2) x=8.412%
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:
299.99/x=100%/8.412%
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 8.412% of 299.99

299.99/x=100/8.412
(299.99/x)*x=(100/8.412)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
299.99=11.887779362815*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.887779362815) to get x
299.99/11.887779362815=x
25.2351588=x
x=25.2351588

now we have:
