38.51 is what percent of 29.14 - 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 29.14 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 29.14, so we can write it down as 100%=29.14.
4. We know, that x% equals 38.51 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=38.51.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=29.14
2) x%=38.51
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%=29.14/38.51
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 38.51 is what percent of 29.14

100%/x%=29.14/38.51
(100/x)*x=(29.14/38.51)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.75668657491561*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.75668657491561) to get x
100/0.75668657491561=x
132.1551132464=x
x=132.1551132464

now we have:
38.51 is 132.1551132464% of 29.14
