7.29 is what percent of 169.23 - 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 169.23 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 169.23, so we can write it down as 100%=169.23.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.29 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.29.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=169.23
2) x%=7.29
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%=169.23/7.29
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.29 is what percent of 169.23

100%/x%=169.23/7.29
(100/x)*x=(169.23/7.29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=23.213991769547*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23.213991769547) to get x
100/23.213991769547=x
4.3077468533948=x
x=4.3077468533948

now we have:
7.29 is 4.3077468533948% of 169.23
