29.53 is what percent of 361 - 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 361 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 361, so we can write it down as 100%=361.
4. We know, that x% equals 29.53 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=29.53.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=361
2) x%=29.53
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%=361/29.53
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 29.53 is what percent of 361

100%/x%=361/29.53
(100/x)*x=(361/29.53)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.224856078564*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.224856078564) to get x
100/12.224856078564=x
8.1800554016621=x
x=8.1800554016621

now we have:
29.53 is 8.1800554016621% of 361
