What is 29 percent of 1560 - 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 1560 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 1560 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1560=100%.
4. We know, that x is 29% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=29%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1560=100%
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:
1560/x=100%/29%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 29% of 1560

1560/x=100/29
(1560/x)*x=(100/29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1560=3.44827586207*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.44827586207) to get x
1560/3.44827586207=x
452.4=x
x=452.4

now we have:
29% of 1560=452.4
