0.29 is what percent of 10.6 - 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 10.6 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 10.6, so we can write it down as 100%=10.6.
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%=10.6
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%=10.6/0.29
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 10.6

100%/x%=10.6/0.29
(100/x)*x=(10.6/0.29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=36.551724137931*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (36.551724137931) to get x
100/36.551724137931=x
2.7358490566038=x
x=2.7358490566038

now we have:
0.29 is 2.7358490566038% of 10.6
