29.45 is what percent of 54.78 - 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 54.78 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 54.78, so we can write it down as 100%=54.78.
4. We know, that x% equals 29.45 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=29.45.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=54.78
2) x%=29.45
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%=54.78/29.45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 29.45 is what percent of 54.78

100%/x%=54.78/29.45
(100/x)*x=(54.78/29.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.8601018675722*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8601018675722) to get x
100/1.8601018675722=x
53.760496531581=x
x=53.760496531581

now we have:
29.45 is 53.760496531581% of 54.78
