What is 50.5 percent of 0.29 - 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 0.29 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 0.29 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.29=100%.
4. We know, that x is 50.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=50.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.29=100%
2) x=50.5%
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:
0.29/x=100%/50.5%
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 50.5% of 0.29

0.29/x=100/50.5
(0.29/x)*x=(100/50.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.29=1.980198019802*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.980198019802) to get x
0.29/1.980198019802=x
0.14645=x
x=0.14645

now we have:
50.5% of 0.29=0.14645
