Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume, that the number 36 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 36, so we can write it down as 100%=36.
4. We know, that x% equals 29 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=29.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=36
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:
100%/x%=36/29
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
7. Solution for 29 is what percent of 36
100%/x%=36/29
(100/x)*x=(36/29)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.24137931034*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.24137931034) to get x
100/1.24137931034=x
80.5555555556=x
x=80.5555555556
now we have:
29 is 80.5555555556% of 36 to the nearest tenth is 81%
