0.58 is what percent of 9.27 - 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 9.27 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 9.27, so we can write it down as 100%=9.27.
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%=9.27
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%=9.27/0.58
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 9.27

100%/x%=9.27/0.58
(100/x)*x=(9.27/0.58)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=15.98275862069*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.98275862069) to get x
100/15.98275862069=x
6.2567421790723=x
x=6.2567421790723

now we have:
0.58 is 6.2567421790723% of 9.27
