29 is what percent of 7847 - 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 7847 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 7847, so we can write it down as 100%=7847.
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%=7847
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%=7847/29
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 7847

100%/x%=7847/29
(100/x)*x=(7847/29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=270.58620689655*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (270.58620689655) to get x
100/270.58620689655=x
0.36956798776603=x
x=0.36956798776603

now we have:
29 is 0.36956798776603% of 7847
