29390.4 is what percent of 52900 - 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 52900 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 52900, so we can write it down as 100%=52900.
4. We know, that x% equals 29390.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=29390.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=52900
2) x%=29390.4
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%=52900/29390.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 29390.4 is what percent of 52900

100%/x%=52900/29390.4
(100/x)*x=(52900/29390.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7999074527737*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7999074527737) to get x
100/1.7999074527737=x
55.558412098299=x
x=55.558412098299

now we have:
