29.26 is what percent of 103.6 - 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 103.6 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 103.6, so we can write it down as 100%=103.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 29.26 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=29.26.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=103.6
2) x%=29.26
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%=103.6/29.26
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 29.26 is what percent of 103.6

100%/x%=103.6/29.26
(100/x)*x=(103.6/29.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.5406698564593*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.5406698564593) to get x
100/3.5406698564593=x
28.243243243243=x
x=28.243243243243

now we have:
29.26 is 28.243243243243% of 103.6
