What is 2991 percent of 0.71 - 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 0.71 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 0.71 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.71=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2991% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2991%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.71=100%
2) x=2991%
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:
0.71/x=100%/2991%
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 2991% of 0.71

0.71/x=100/2991
(0.71/x)*x=(100/2991)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.71=0.033433634236041*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.033433634236041) to get x
0.71/0.033433634236041=x
21.2361=x
x=21.2361

now we have:
2991% of 0.71=21.2361
