29.5 is what percent of 69.8 - 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 69.8 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 69.8, so we can write it down as 100%=69.8.
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%=69.8
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%=69.8/29.5
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 69.8

100%/x%=69.8/29.5
(100/x)*x=(69.8/29.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.3661016949153*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3661016949153) to get x
100/2.3661016949153=x
42.263610315186=x
x=42.263610315186

now we have:
29.5 is 42.263610315186% of 69.8
