58.07 is what percent of 66 - 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 66 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 66, so we can write it down as 100%=66.
4. We know, that x% equals 58.07 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=58.07.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=66
2) x%=58.07
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%=66/58.07
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 58.07 is what percent of 66

100%/x%=66/58.07
(100/x)*x=(66/58.07)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1365593249526*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1365593249526) to get x
100/1.1365593249526=x
87.984848484848=x
x=87.984848484848

now we have:
58.07 is 87.984848484848% of 66
