0.29 is what percent of 13.89 - 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 13.89 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 13.89, so we can write it down as 100%=13.89.
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%=13.89
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%=13.89/0.29
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 13.89

100%/x%=13.89/0.29
(100/x)*x=(13.89/0.29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=47.896551724138*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (47.896551724138) to get x
100/47.896551724138=x
2.0878329733621=x
x=2.0878329733621

now we have:
0.29 is 2.0878329733621% of 13.89
