57 is what percent of 2029 - 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 2029 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 2029, so we can write it down as 100%=2029.
4. We know, that x% equals 57 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=57.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2029
2) x%=57
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%=2029/57
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 57 is what percent of 2029

100%/x%=2029/57
(100/x)*x=(2029/57)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=35.59649122807*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (35.59649122807) to get x
100/35.59649122807=x
2.8092656481025=x
x=2.8092656481025

now we have:
57 is 2.8092656481025% of 2029
