27.17 is what percent of 29.37 - 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 29.37 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 29.37, so we can write it down as 100%=29.37.
4. We know, that x% equals 27.17 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=27.17.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=29.37
2) x%=27.17
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%=29.37/27.17
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 27.17 is what percent of 29.37

100%/x%=29.37/27.17
(100/x)*x=(29.37/27.17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.080971659919*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.080971659919) to get x
100/1.080971659919=x
92.50936329588=x
x=92.50936329588

now we have:
27.17 is 92.50936329588% of 29.37
