34 is what percent of 58315 - 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 58315 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 58315, so we can write it down as 100%=58315.
4. We know, that x% equals 34 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=34.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=58315
2) x%=34
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%=58315/34
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 34 is what percent of 58315

100%/x%=58315/34
(100/x)*x=(58315/34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1715.1470588235*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1715.1470588235) to get x
100/1715.1470588235=x
0.058304038412072=x
x=0.058304038412072

now we have:
34 is 0.058304038412072% of 58315
