29.04 is what percent of 1456 - 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 1456 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 1456, so we can write it down as 100%=1456.
4. We know, that x% equals 29.04 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=29.04.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1456
2) x%=29.04
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%=1456/29.04
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 29.04 is what percent of 1456

100%/x%=1456/29.04
(100/x)*x=(1456/29.04)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=50.137741046832*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (50.137741046832) to get x
100/50.137741046832=x
1.9945054945055=x
x=1.9945054945055

now we have:
29.04 is 1.9945054945055% of 1456
