58 is what percent of 7168 - 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 7168 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 7168, so we can write it down as 100%=7168.
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%=7168
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%=7168/58
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 7168

100%/x%=7168/58
(100/x)*x=(7168/58)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=123.58620689655*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (123.58620689655) to get x
100/123.58620689655=x
0.80915178571429=x
x=0.80915178571429

now we have:
58 is 0.80915178571429% of 7168
