What is 98.1 percent of 29.43 - 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 29.43 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 29.43 is 100%, so we can write it down as 29.43=100%.
4. We know, that x is 98.1% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=98.1%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 29.43=100%
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:
29.43/x=100%/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 what is 98.1% of 29.43

29.43/x=100/98.1
(29.43/x)*x=(100/98.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
29.43=1.0193679918451*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0193679918451) to get x
29.43/1.0193679918451=x
28.87083=x
x=28.87083

now we have:
98.1% of 29.43=28.87083
