19.17 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 19.17 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=19.17.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=29
2) x%=19.17
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%=29/19.17
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 19.17 is what percent of 29

100%/x%=29/19.17
(100/x)*x=(29/19.17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5127803860198*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5127803860198) to get x
100/1.5127803860198=x
66.103448275862=x
x=66.103448275862

now we have:
19.17 is 66.103448275862% of 29
