9.7 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 9.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=29
2) x%=9.7
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%=29/9.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.7 is what percent of 29

100%/x%=29/9.7
(100/x)*x=(29/9.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.9896907216495*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.9896907216495) to get x
100/2.9896907216495=x
33.448275862069=x
x=33.448275862069

now we have:
9.7 is 33.448275862069% of 29
