30 is what percent of 29243 - 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 29243 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 29243, so we can write it down as 100%=29243.
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%=29243
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%=29243/30
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 29243

100%/x%=29243/30
(100/x)*x=(29243/30)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=974.76666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (974.76666666667) to get x
100/974.76666666667=x
0.1025886536949=x
x=0.1025886536949

now we have:
30 is 0.1025886536949% of 29243
