43 is what percent of 58517 - 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 58517 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 58517, so we can write it down as 100%=58517.
4. We know, that x% equals 43 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=43.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=58517
2) x%=43
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%=58517/43
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 43 is what percent of 58517

100%/x%=58517/43
(100/x)*x=(58517/43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1360.8604651163*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1360.8604651163) to get x
100/1360.8604651163=x
0.073482919493481=x
x=0.073482919493481

now we have:
43 is 0.073482919493481% of 58517
