1. We assume, that the number 28989675 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 28989675, so we can write it down as 100%=28989675.

5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=28989675
2) x%=10
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%=28989675/10
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
