29.1 is what percent of 136.1 - 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 136.1 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 136.1, so we can write it down as 100%=136.1.
4. We know, that x% equals 29.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=29.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=136.1
2) x%=29.1
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%=136.1/29.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 29.1 is what percent of 136.1

100%/x%=136.1/29.1
(100/x)*x=(136.1/29.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.6769759450172*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.6769759450172) to get x
100/4.6769759450172=x
21.381337252021=x
x=21.381337252021

now we have:
29.1 is 21.381337252021% of 136.1
