What is 10.03 percent of 29.5 - 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 29.5 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 29.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 29.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 10.03% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=10.03%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 29.5=100%
2) x=10.03%
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:
29.5/x=100%/10.03%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 10.03% of 29.5

29.5/x=100/10.03
(29.5/x)*x=(100/10.03)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
29.5=9.97008973081*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.97008973081) to get x
29.5/9.97008973081=x
2.95885=x
x=2.95885

now we have:
10.03% of 29.5=2.95885
