29.51 is what percent of 730.77 - 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 730.77 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 730.77, so we can write it down as 100%=730.77.
4. We know, that x% equals 29.51 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=29.51.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=730.77
2) x%=29.51
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%=730.77/29.51
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 29.51 is what percent of 730.77

100%/x%=730.77/29.51
(100/x)*x=(730.77/29.51)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=24.763470010166*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (24.763470010166) to get x
100/24.763470010166=x
4.0382062755723=x
x=4.0382062755723

now we have:
29.51 is 4.0382062755723% of 730.77
