98.1 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 98.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=98.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=29
2) x%=98.1
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%=29/98.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 98.1 is what percent of 29

100%/x%=29/98.1
(100/x)*x=(29/98.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.29561671763507*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.29561671763507) to get x
100/0.29561671763507=x
338.27586206897=x
x=338.27586206897

now we have:
98.1 is 338.27586206897% of 29
