0.29 is what percent of 0.6 - 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 0.6 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 100% equals 0.6, so we can write it down as 100%=0.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.29 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.29.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.6
2) x%=0.29
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:
100%/x%=0.6/0.29
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.29 is what percent of 0.6

100%/x%=0.6/0.29
(100/x)*x=(0.6/0.29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.0689655172414*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0689655172414) to get x
100/2.0689655172414=x
48.333333333333=x
x=48.333333333333

now we have:
0.29 is 48.333333333333% of 0.6
