28 is what percent of 58.676 - 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 58.676 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 58.676, so we can write it down as 100%=58.676.
4. We know, that x% equals 28 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=28.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=58.676
2) x%=28
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%=58.676/28
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 28 is what percent of 58.676

100%/x%=58.676/28
(100/x)*x=(58.676/28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.0955714285714*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0955714285714) to get x
100/2.0955714285714=x
47.719680959847=x
x=47.719680959847

now we have:
