What is 8.98 percent of 3265 - 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 3265 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 3265 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3265=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.98% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.98%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3265=100%
2) x=8.98%
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:
3265/x=100%/8.98%
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 8.98% of 3265

3265/x=100/8.98
(3265/x)*x=(100/8.98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3265=11.135857461024*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.135857461024) to get x
3265/11.135857461024=x
293.197=x
x=293.197

now we have:
8.98% of 3265=293.197
