29.99 is what percent of 19.94 - 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 19.94 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 19.94, so we can write it down as 100%=19.94.
4. We know, that x% equals 29.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=29.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=19.94
2) x%=29.99
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%=19.94/29.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 29.99 is what percent of 19.94

100%/x%=19.94/29.99
(100/x)*x=(19.94/29.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.6648882960987*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.6648882960987) to get x
100/0.6648882960987=x
150.40120361083=x
x=150.40120361083

now we have:
29.99 is 150.40120361083% of 19.94
