29.75 is what percent of 100.75 - 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 100.75 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 100.75, so we can write it down as 100%=100.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 29.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=29.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=100.75
2) x%=29.75
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%=100.75/29.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 29.75 is what percent of 100.75

100%/x%=100.75/29.75
(100/x)*x=(100.75/29.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.3865546218487*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.3865546218487) to get x
100/3.3865546218487=x
29.528535980149=x
x=29.528535980149

now we have:
29.75 is 29.528535980149% of 100.75
