29.36 is what percent of 34.94 - 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 34.94 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 34.94, so we can write it down as 100%=34.94.
4. We know, that x% equals 29.36 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=29.36.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=34.94
2) x%=29.36
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%=34.94/29.36
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 29.36 is what percent of 34.94

100%/x%=34.94/29.36
(100/x)*x=(34.94/29.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1900544959128*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1900544959128) to get x
100/1.1900544959128=x
84.029765311963=x
x=84.029765311963

now we have:
29.36 is 84.029765311963% of 34.94
