29 is what percent of 969 - 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 969 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 969, so we can write it down as 100%=969.
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%=969
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%=969/29
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 969

100%/x%=969/29
(100/x)*x=(969/29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=33.413793103448*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (33.413793103448) to get x
100/33.413793103448=x
2.9927760577915=x
x=2.9927760577915

now we have:
29 is 2.9927760577915% of 969
