What is 950 percent of 3000 - 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 3000 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 3000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 950% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=950%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3000=100%
2) x=950%
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:
3000/x=100%/950%
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 950% of 3000

3000/x=100/950
(3000/x)*x=(100/950)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3000=0.10526315789474*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.10526315789474) to get x
3000/0.10526315789474=x
28500=x
x=28500

now we have:
950% of 3000=28500
