4.74 is what percent of 29 - 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 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, so we can write it down as 100%=29.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.74 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.74.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=29
2) x%=4.74
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%=29/4.74
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.74 is what percent of 29

100%/x%=29/4.74
(100/x)*x=(29/4.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.1181434599156*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.1181434599156) to get x
100/6.1181434599156=x
16.344827586207=x
x=16.344827586207

now we have:
4.74 is 16.344827586207% of 29
