What is 98 percent of 100050000 - 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 100050000 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 100050000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 100050000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 98% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=98%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100050000=100%
2) x=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:
100050000/x=100%/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 98% of 100050000

100050000/x=100/98
(100050000/x)*x=(100/98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100050000=1.0204081632653*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0204081632653) to get x
100050000/1.0204081632653=x
98049000=x
x=98049000

now we have:
98% of 100050000=98049000
