12.14 is what percent of 29.36 - 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 29.36 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 29.36, so we can write it down as 100%=29.36.
4. We know, that x% equals 12.14 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=12.14.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=29.36
2) x%=12.14
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%=29.36/12.14
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 12.14 is what percent of 29.36

100%/x%=29.36/12.14
(100/x)*x=(29.36/12.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.4184514003295*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.4184514003295) to get x
100/2.4184514003295=x
41.348773841962=x
x=41.348773841962

now we have:
12.14 is 41.348773841962% of 29.36
