29.12 is what percent of 469.61 - 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 469.61 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 469.61, so we can write it down as 100%=469.61.
4. We know, that x% equals 29.12 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=29.12.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=469.61
2) x%=29.12
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%=469.61/29.12
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 29.12 is what percent of 469.61

100%/x%=469.61/29.12
(100/x)*x=(469.61/29.12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.126717032967*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.126717032967) to get x
100/16.126717032967=x
6.200890100296=x
x=6.200890100296

now we have:
29.12 is 6.200890100296% of 469.61
