0.88 is what percent of 29.56 - 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 29.56 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 29.56, so we can write it down as 100%=29.56.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.88 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.88.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=29.56
2) x%=0.88
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%=29.56/0.88
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.88 is what percent of 29.56

100%/x%=29.56/0.88
(100/x)*x=(29.56/0.88)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=33.590909090909*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (33.590909090909) to get x
100/33.590909090909=x
2.9769959404601=x
x=2.9769959404601

now we have:
0.88 is 2.9769959404601% of 29.56
