126.6 is what percent of 29 - 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 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, so we can write it down as 100%=29.
4. We know, that x% equals 126.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=126.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=29
2) x%=126.6
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%=29/126.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 126.6 is what percent of 29

100%/x%=29/126.6
(100/x)*x=(29/126.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.22906793048973*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.22906793048973) to get x
100/0.22906793048973=x
436.55172413793=x
x=436.55172413793

now we have:
126.6 is 436.55172413793% of 29
