2.94 is what percent of 3.29 - 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 3.29 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 3.29, so we can write it down as 100%=3.29.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.94 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.94.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3.29
2) x%=2.94
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%=3.29/2.94
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.94 is what percent of 3.29

100%/x%=3.29/2.94
(100/x)*x=(3.29/2.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1190476190476*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1190476190476) to get x
100/1.1190476190476=x
89.36170212766=x
x=89.36170212766

now we have:
2.94 is 89.36170212766% of 3.29
