29.5 is what percent of 37270.67 - 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 37270.67 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 37270.67, so we can write it down as 100%=37270.67.
4. We know, that x% equals 29.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=29.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=37270.67
2) x%=29.5
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%=37270.67/29.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 29.5 is what percent of 37270.67

100%/x%=37270.67/29.5
(100/x)*x=(37270.67/29.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1263.4125423729*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1263.4125423729) to get x
100/1263.4125423729=x
0.079150710196516=x
x=0.079150710196516

now we have:
