What is 98.898 percent of 318 - 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 318 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 318 is 100%, so we can write it down as 318=100%.
4. We know, that x is 98.898% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=98.898%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 318=100%
2) x=98.898%
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:
318/x=100%/98.898%
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 98.898% of 318

318/x=100/98.898
(318/x)*x=(100/98.898)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
318=1.0111427935853*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0111427935853) to get x
318/1.0111427935853=x
314.49564=x
x=314.49564

now we have:
98.898% of 318=314.49564
