111.58 is what percent of 591.75 - 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 591.75 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 591.75, so we can write it down as 100%=591.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 111.58 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=111.58.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=591.75
2) x%=111.58
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%=591.75/111.58
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 111.58 is what percent of 591.75

100%/x%=591.75/111.58
(100/x)*x=(591.75/111.58)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.3033697795304*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.3033697795304) to get x
100/5.3033697795304=x
18.855935783692=x
x=18.855935783692

now we have:
