Answer by richwmiller(17219)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let q=some number
We want 29% of q
29%=29/100=.29 which is the decimal for 29%
Product means two quantities multiplied together.
the two quantities are .29 and q
So we want .29q which is an algebraic expression of 29% of q
Algebraic expression means it is written with a variable in this case q
if we set it equal to something then the expression becomes an equation.
If I said that .29q =58 then we would have an equation.
