5.58 is what percent of 317.03 - 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 317.03 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 317.03, so we can write it down as 100%=317.03.
4. We know, that x% equals 5.58 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5.58.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=317.03
2) x%=5.58
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%=317.03/5.58
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5.58 is what percent of 317.03

100%/x%=317.03/5.58
(100/x)*x=(317.03/5.58)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=56.81541218638*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (56.81541218638) to get x
100/56.81541218638=x
1.7600857962969=x
x=1.7600857962969

now we have:
5.58 is 1.7600857962969% of 317.03
