29% of ____ is 26.1
29% of ____ is 26.1
0.29x = 26.1
x = 26.1/0.29
To find the value of the blank, we can set up the equation:
(29/100) * x = 26.1
To solve for x, we can divide both sides of the equation by (29/100):
x = 26.1 / (29/100)
To simplify, we can multiply 26.1 by (100/29):
x = 26.1 * (100/29)
x ≈ 90
To find the missing value in the given problem, we can set up a proportion.
Let's represent the missing value as "x". The problem states that 29% of this value is equal to 26.1.
We can set up the proportion as follows:
29% / 100% = 26.1 / x
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and then divide:
29% * x = 26.1 * 100%
The "%" signs cancel out, giving us:
0.29x = 2610
To isolate x, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.29:
x = 2610 / 0.29
Calculating this value, we get:
x ≈ 9,000
So, 29% of approximately 9,000 is equal to 26.1.
