29 is what percent of 58523 - 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 58523 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 58523, so we can write it down as 100%=58523.
4. We know, that x% equals 29 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=29.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=58523
2) x%=29
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%=58523/29
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 29 is what percent of 58523

100%/x%=58523/29
(100/x)*x=(58523/29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2018.03448276*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2018.03448276) to get x
100/2018.03448276=x
0.0495531671309=x
x=0.0495531671309

now we have:
