22.99 is what percent of 58.44 - 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 58.44 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 58.44, so we can write it down as 100%=58.44.
4. We know, that x% equals 22.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=22.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=58.44
2) x%=22.99
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%=58.44/22.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 22.99 is what percent of 58.44

100%/x%=58.44/22.99
(100/x)*x=(58.44/22.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.5419747716398*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.5419747716398) to get x
100/2.5419747716398=x
39.339493497604=x
x=39.339493497604

now we have:
22.99 is 39.339493497604% of 58.44
