1272.5 is what percent of 1429.3 - 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 1429.3 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 1429.3, so we can write it down as 100%=1429.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 1272.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1272.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1429.3
2) x%=1272.5
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%=1429.3/1272.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1272.5 is what percent of 1429.3

100%/x%=1429.3/1272.5
(100/x)*x=(1429.3/1272.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1232220039293*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1232220039293) to get x
100/1.1232220039293=x
89.029594906598=x
x=89.029594906598

now we have:
1272.5 is 89.029594906598% of 1429.3
