29.9 is what percent of 15.075 - 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 15.075 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 15.075, so we can write it down as 100%=15.075.
4. We know, that x% equals 29.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=29.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=15.075
2) x%=29.9
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%=15.075/29.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 29.9 is what percent of 15.075

100%/x%=15.075/29.9
(100/x)*x=(15.075/29.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.50418060200669*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.50418060200669) to get x
100/0.50418060200669=x
198.3416252073=x
x=198.3416252073

now we have:
29.9 is 198.3416252073% of 15.075
