29.55 is what percent of 325.5 - 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 325.5 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 325.5, so we can write it down as 100%=325.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 29.55 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=29.55.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=325.5
2) x%=29.55
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%=325.5/29.55
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 29.55 is what percent of 325.5

100%/x%=325.5/29.55
(100/x)*x=(325.5/29.55)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.015228426396*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.015228426396) to get x
100/11.015228426396=x
9.0783410138249=x
x=9.0783410138249

now we have:
29.55 is 9.0783410138249% of 325.5
