-------- = --------
29152........100
.now you cross multiply. Ignore the dots between 3592 and x and the ones between 29152 and100.


359200=29152x Then divide by 29152
x=12.32%


Lets say you wanted to know what 12.32% of 29152 is.

You would set it up like this:

x.................12.32
--------- = -----------

x=3591.52 (then you round up to get 3592)
