29.71 is what percent of 6.6 - 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 6.6 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 6.6, so we can write it down as 100%=6.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 29.71 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=29.71.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6.6
2) x%=29.71
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%=6.6/29.71
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 29.71 is what percent of 6.6

100%/x%=6.6/29.71
(100/x)*x=(6.6/29.71)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.22214742510939*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.22214742510939) to get x
100/0.22214742510939=x
450.15151515152=x
x=450.15151515152

now we have:
29.71 is 450.15151515152% of 6.6
