1.58 is what percent of 45000 - 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 45000 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 45000, so we can write it down as 100%=45000.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.58 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.58.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=45000
2) x%=1.58
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%=45000/1.58
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.58 is what percent of 45000

100%/x%=45000/1.58
(100/x)*x=(45000/1.58)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=28481.012658228*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (28481.012658228) to get x
100/28481.012658228=x
0.0035111111111111=x
x=0.0035111111111111

now we have:
1.58 is 0.0035111111111111% of 45000
