29 is what percent of 296000 - 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 296000 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 296000, so we can write it down as 100%=296000.
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%=296000
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%=296000/29
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 296000

100%/x%=296000/29
(100/x)*x=(296000/29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10206.896551724*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10206.896551724) to get x
100/10206.896551724=x
0.0097972972972973=x
x=0.0097972972972973

now we have:
29 is 0.0097972972972973% of 296000
