10.29 is what percent of 343 - 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 343 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 343, so we can write it down as 100%=343.
4. We know, that x% equals 10.29 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.29.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=343
2) x%=10.29
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%=343/10.29
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10.29 is what percent of 343

100%/x%=343/10.29
(100/x)*x=(343/10.29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=33.333333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (33.333333333333) to get x
100/33.333333333333=x
3=x
x=3

now we have:
10.29 is 3% of 343
