29.74 is what percent of 45 - 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 45 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 45, so we can write it down as 100%=45.
4. We know, that x% equals 29.74 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=29.74.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=45
2) x%=29.74
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%=45/29.74
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 29.74 is what percent of 45

100%/x%=45/29.74
(100/x)*x=(45/29.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5131136516476*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5131136516476) to get x
100/1.5131136516476=x
66.088888888889=x
x=66.088888888889

now we have:
29.74 is 66.088888888889% of 45
