58 is what percent of 1813 - 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 1813 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 1813, so we can write it down as 100%=1813.
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%=1813
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%=1813/58
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 1813

100%/x%=1813/58
(100/x)*x=(1813/58)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=31.258620689655*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (31.258620689655) to get x
100/31.258620689655=x
3.1991174848318=x
x=3.1991174848318

now we have:
58 is 3.1991174848318% of 1813
