45 is what percent of 58472 - 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 58472 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 58472, so we can write it down as 100%=58472.
4. We know, that x% equals 45 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=45.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=58472
2) x%=45
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%=58472/45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 45 is what percent of 58472

100%/x%=58472/45
(100/x)*x=(58472/45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1299.3777777778*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1299.3777777778) to get x
100/1299.3777777778=x
0.076959912436722=x
x=0.076959912436722

now we have:
