What is 29 percent of 266.8 - 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 266.8 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 266.8 is 100%, so we can write it down as 266.8=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) 266.8=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:
266.8/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 266.8

266.8/x=100/29
(266.8/x)*x=(100/29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
266.8=3.44827586207*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.44827586207) to get x
266.8/3.44827586207=x
77.372=x
x=77.372

now we have:
29% of 266.8=77.372
