What is 8358 percent of 2.99 - 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 2.99 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 2.99 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2.99=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8358% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8358%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2.99=100%
2) x=8358%
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:
2.99/x=100%/8358%
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 8358% of 2.99

2.99/x=100/8358
(2.99/x)*x=(100/8358)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2.99=0.011964584828906*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.011964584828906) to get x
2.99/0.011964584828906=x
249.9042=x
x=249.9042

now we have:
8358% of 2.99=249.9042
