58.26 is what percent of 90 - 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 90 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 90, so we can write it down as 100%=90.
4. We know, that x% equals 58.26 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=58.26.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=90
2) x%=58.26
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%=90/58.26
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 58.26 is what percent of 90

100%/x%=90/58.26
(100/x)*x=(90/58.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5447991761071*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5447991761071) to get x
100/1.5447991761071=x
64.733333333333=x
x=64.733333333333

now we have:
58.26 is 64.733333333333% of 90
