2.9 is what percent of 135.657 - 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 135.657 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 135.657, so we can write it down as 100%=135.657.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=135.657
2) x%=2.9
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%=135.657/2.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.9 is what percent of 135.657

100%/x%=135.657/2.9
(100/x)*x=(135.657/2.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=46.778275862069*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (46.778275862069) to get x
100/46.778275862069=x
2.1377444584504=x
x=2.1377444584504

now we have:
2.9 is 2.1377444584504% of 135.657
