30 is what percent of 29.48 - 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 29.48 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 29.48, so we can write it down as 100%=29.48.
4. We know, that x% equals 30 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=30.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=29.48
2) x%=30
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%=29.48/30
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 30 is what percent of 29.48

100%/x%=29.48/30
(100/x)*x=(29.48/30)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.98266666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.98266666666667) to get x
100/0.98266666666667=x
101.76390773406=x
x=101.76390773406

now we have:
30 is 101.76390773406% of 29.48
