4899.37 is what percent of 58500 - 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 58500 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 58500, so we can write it down as 100%=58500.
4. We know, that x% equals 4899.37 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4899.37.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=58500
2) x%=4899.37
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%=58500/4899.37
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4899.37 is what percent of 58500

100%/x%=58500/4899.37
(100/x)*x=(58500/4899.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.940310693007*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.940310693007) to get x
100/11.940310693007=x
8.3749914529915=x
x=8.3749914529915

now we have:
4899.37 is 8.3749914529915% of 58500
