1.95 is what percent of 58.95 - 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 58.95 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 58.95, so we can write it down as 100%=58.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=58.95
2) x%=1.95
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%=58.95/1.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.95 is what percent of 58.95

100%/x%=58.95/1.95
(100/x)*x=(58.95/1.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=30.230769230769*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (30.230769230769) to get x
100/30.230769230769=x
3.3078880407125=x
x=3.3078880407125

now we have:
1.95 is 3.3078880407125% of 58.95
