2.3 is what percent of 29.1 - 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 29.1 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 29.1, so we can write it down as 100%=29.1.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=29.1
2) x%=2.3
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%=29.1/2.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.3 is what percent of 29.1

100%/x%=29.1/2.3
(100/x)*x=(29.1/2.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.652173913043*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.652173913043) to get x
100/12.652173913043=x
7.9037800687285=x
x=7.9037800687285

now we have:
2.3 is 7.9037800687285% of 29.1
