What is 82.9 percent of 100 - 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 100 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 is 100%, so we can write it down as 100=100%.
4. We know, that x is 82.9% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=82.9%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100=100%
2) x=82.9%
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=100%/82.9%
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 82.9% of 100

100/x=100/82.9
(100/x)*x=(100/82.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2062726176116*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2062726176116) to get x
100/1.2062726176116=x
82.9=x
x=82.9

now we have:
82.9% of 100=82.9
