58.44 is what percent of 22.99 - 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 22.99 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 22.99, so we can write it down as 100%=22.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 58.44 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=58.44.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=22.99
2) x%=58.44
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%=22.99/58.44
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 58.44 is what percent of 22.99

100%/x%=22.99/58.44
(100/x)*x=(22.99/58.44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.39339493497604*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.39339493497604) to get x
100/0.39339493497604=x
254.19747716398=x
x=254.19747716398

now we have:
58.44 is 254.19747716398% of 22.99
