29 is what percent of 22800 - 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 22800 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 22800, so we can write it down as 100%=22800.
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%=22800
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%=22800/29
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 22800

100%/x%=22800/29
(100/x)*x=(22800/29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=786.20689655172*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (786.20689655172) to get x
100/786.20689655172=x
0.12719298245614=x
x=0.12719298245614

now we have:
29 is 0.12719298245614% of 22800
