29.26 is what percent of 1451.47 - 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 1451.47 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 1451.47, so we can write it down as 100%=1451.47.
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%=1451.47
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%=1451.47/29.26
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 1451.47

100%/x%=1451.47/29.26
(100/x)*x=(1451.47/29.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=49.605946684894*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (49.605946684894) to get x
100/49.605946684894=x
2.0158873417983=x
x=2.0158873417983

now we have:
