58 is what percent of 4567 - 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 4567 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 4567, so we can write it down as 100%=4567.
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%=4567
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%=4567/58
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 4567

100%/x%=4567/58
(100/x)*x=(4567/58)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=78.741379310345*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (78.741379310345) to get x
100/78.741379310345=x
1.2699802934092=x
x=1.2699802934092

now we have:
58 is 1.2699802934092% of 4567
