0.58 is what percent of 39.51 - 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 39.51 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 39.51, so we can write it down as 100%=39.51.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.58 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.58.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=39.51
2) x%=0.58
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%=39.51/0.58
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.58 is what percent of 39.51

100%/x%=39.51/0.58
(100/x)*x=(39.51/0.58)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=68.120689655172*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (68.120689655172) to get x
100/68.120689655172=x
1.4679827891673=x
x=1.4679827891673

now we have:
0.58 is 1.4679827891673% of 39.51
