0.29 is what percent of 28.48 - 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 28.48 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 28.48, so we can write it down as 100%=28.48.
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%=28.48
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%=28.48/0.29
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 28.48

100%/x%=28.48/0.29
(100/x)*x=(28.48/0.29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=98.206896551724*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (98.206896551724) to get x
100/98.206896551724=x
1.0182584269663=x
x=1.0182584269663

now we have:
0.29 is 1.0182584269663% of 28.48
