36 is what percent of 58254 - 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 58254 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 58254, so we can write it down as 100%=58254.
4. We know, that x% equals 36 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=36.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=58254
2) x%=36
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%=58254/36
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 36 is what percent of 58254

100%/x%=58254/36
(100/x)*x=(58254/36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1618.1666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1618.1666666667) to get x
100/1618.1666666667=x
0.061798331445051=x
x=0.061798331445051

now we have:
36 is 0.061798331445051% of 58254
