29 is what percent of 583.01 - 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 583.01 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 583.01, so we can write it down as 100%=583.01.
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%=583.01
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%=583.01/29
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 583.01

100%/x%=583.01/29
(100/x)*x=(583.01/29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=20.103793103448*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.103793103448) to get x
100/20.103793103448=x
4.9741856914976=x
x=4.9741856914976

now we have:
29 is 4.9741856914976% of 583.01
