47.63 is what percent of 59000 - 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 59000 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 59000, so we can write it down as 100%=59000.
4. We know, that x% equals 47.63 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=47.63.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=59000
2) x%=47.63
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%=59000/47.63
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 47.63 is what percent of 59000

100%/x%=59000/47.63
(100/x)*x=(59000/47.63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1238.715095528*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1238.715095528) to get x
100/1238.715095528=x
0.080728813559322=x
x=0.080728813559322

now we have:
47.63 is 0.080728813559322% of 59000
