112.52 is what percent of 58 - 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 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, so we can write it down as 100%=58.
4. We know, that x% equals 112.52 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=112.52.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=58
2) x%=112.52
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%=58/112.52
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 112.52 is what percent of 58

100%/x%=58/112.52
(100/x)*x=(58/112.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.51546391752577*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.51546391752577) to get x
100/0.51546391752577=x
194=x
x=194

now we have:
112.52 is 194% of 58
