28.93 is what percent of 29.75 - 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 29.75 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 29.75, so we can write it down as 100%=29.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 28.93 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=28.93.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=29.75
2) x%=28.93
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%=29.75/28.93
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 28.93 is what percent of 29.75

100%/x%=29.75/28.93
(100/x)*x=(29.75/28.93)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0283442792948*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0283442792948) to get x
100/1.0283442792948=x
97.243697478992=x
x=97.243697478992

now we have:
28.93 is 97.243697478992% of 29.75
