What is 11.98 percent of 29.95 - 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 29.95 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 29.95 is 100%, so we can write it down as 29.95=100%.
4. We know, that x is 11.98% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=11.98%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 29.95=100%
2) x=11.98%
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:
29.95/x=100%/11.98%
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 11.98% of 29.95

29.95/x=100/11.98
(29.95/x)*x=(100/11.98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
29.95=8.347245409015*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.347245409015) to get x
29.95/8.347245409015=x
3.58801=x
x=3.58801

now we have:
11.98% of 29.95=3.58801
