29.04 is what percent of 34.6 - 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 34.6 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 34.6, so we can write it down as 100%=34.6.
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%=34.6
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%=34.6/29.04
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 34.6

100%/x%=34.6/29.04
(100/x)*x=(34.6/29.04)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1914600550964*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1914600550964) to get x
100/1.1914600550964=x
83.93063583815=x
x=83.93063583815

now we have:
29.04 is 83.93063583815% of 34.6
