58 is what percent of 1.692 - 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 1.692 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 1.692, so we can write it down as 100%=1.692.
4. We know, that x% equals 58 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=58.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.692
2) x%=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%=1.692/58
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 58 is what percent of 1.692

100%/x%=1.692/58
(100/x)*x=(1.692/58)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.029172413793103*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.029172413793103) to get x
100/0.029172413793103=x
3427.8959810875=x
x=3427.8959810875

now we have:
58 is 3427.8959810875% of 1.692
