What is 29.49 percent of 54.81 - 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 54.81 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 54.81 is 100%, so we can write it down as 54.81=100%.
4. We know, that x is 29.49% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=29.49%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 54.81=100%
2) x=29.49%
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:
54.81/x=100%/29.49%
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 29.49% of 54.81

54.81/x=100/29.49
(54.81/x)*x=(100/29.49)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
54.81=3.390979993218*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.390979993218) to get x
54.81/3.390979993218=x
16.163469=x
x=16.163469

now we have:
29.49% of 54.81=16.163469
