29.21 is what percent of 1652 - 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 1652 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 1652, so we can write it down as 100%=1652.
4. We know, that x% equals 29.21 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=29.21.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1652
2) x%=29.21
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%=1652/29.21
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 29.21 is what percent of 1652

100%/x%=1652/29.21
(100/x)*x=(1652/29.21)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=56.555973981513*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (56.555973981513) to get x
100/56.555973981513=x
1.7681598062954=x
x=1.7681598062954

now we have:
29.21 is 1.7681598062954% of 1652
