29 is what percent of 58215 - 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 58215 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 58215, so we can write it down as 100%=58215.
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%=58215
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%=58215/29
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 58215

100%/x%=58215/29
(100/x)*x=(58215/29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2007.4137931034*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2007.4137931034) to get x
100/2007.4137931034=x
0.049815339689084=x
x=0.049815339689084

now we have:
29 is 0.049815339689084% of 58215
