29 is what percent of 14895 - 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 14895 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 14895, so we can write it down as 100%=14895.
4. We know, that x% equals 29 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=29.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14895
2) x%=29
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%=14895/29
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 29 is what percent of 14895

100%/x%=14895/29
(100/x)*x=(14895/29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=513.62068965517*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (513.62068965517) to get x
100/513.62068965517=x
0.1946962067808=x
x=0.1946962067808

now we have:
