29.28 is what percent of 435 - 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 435 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 435, so we can write it down as 100%=435.
4. We know, that x% equals 29.28 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=29.28.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=435
2) x%=29.28
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%=435/29.28
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 29.28 is what percent of 435

100%/x%=435/29.28
(100/x)*x=(435/29.28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.856557377049*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.856557377049) to get x
100/14.856557377049=x
6.7310344827586=x
x=6.7310344827586

now we have:
29.28 is 6.7310344827586% of 435
