What is 8.775 percent of 29500 - 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 29500 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 29500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 29500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.775% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.775%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 29500=100%
2) x=8.775%
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:
29500/x=100%/8.775%
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 8.775% of 29500

29500/x=100/8.775
(29500/x)*x=(100/8.775)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
29500=11.396011396011*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.396011396011) to get x
29500/11.396011396011=x
2588.625=x
x=2588.625

now we have:
8.775% of 29500=2588.625
