28.32 is what percent of 29.99 - 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 29.99 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 29.99, so we can write it down as 100%=29.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 28.32 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=28.32.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=29.99
2) x%=28.32
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%=29.99/28.32
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 28.32 is what percent of 29.99

100%/x%=29.99/28.32
(100/x)*x=(29.99/28.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0589689265537*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0589689265537) to get x
100/1.0589689265537=x
94.431477159053=x
x=94.431477159053

now we have:
28.32 is 94.431477159053% of 29.99
