1.58 is what percent of 64.75 - 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 64.75 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 64.75, so we can write it down as 100%=64.75.
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%=64.75
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%=64.75/1.58
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 64.75

100%/x%=64.75/1.58
(100/x)*x=(64.75/1.58)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=40.981012658228*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (40.981012658228) to get x
100/40.981012658228=x
2.4401544401544=x
x=2.4401544401544

now we have:
1.58 is 2.4401544401544% of 64.75
