12.01 is what percent of 29.0179 - 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 29.0179 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 29.0179, so we can write it down as 100%=29.0179.
4. We know, that x% equals 12.01 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=12.01.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=29.0179
2) x%=12.01
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%=29.0179/12.01
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 12.01 is what percent of 29.0179

100%/x%=29.0179/12.01
(100/x)*x=(29.0179/12.01)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.4161448792673*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.4161448792673) to get x
100/2.4161448792673=x
41.388246565051=x
x=41.388246565051

now we have:
12.01 is 41.388246565051% of 29.0179
