35.95 is what percent of 29.95 - 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 29.95 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 29.95, so we can write it down as 100%=29.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 35.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=35.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=29.95
2) x%=35.95
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%=29.95/35.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 35.95 is what percent of 29.95

100%/x%=29.95/35.95
(100/x)*x=(29.95/35.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.83310152990264*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.83310152990264) to get x
100/0.83310152990264=x
120.03338898164=x
x=120.03338898164

now we have:
35.95 is 120.03338898164% of 29.95
