58.51 is what percent of 943.74 - 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 943.74 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 943.74, so we can write it down as 100%=943.74.
4. We know, that x% equals 58.51 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=58.51.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=943.74
2) x%=58.51
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%=943.74/58.51
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 58.51 is what percent of 943.74

100%/x%=943.74/58.51
(100/x)*x=(943.74/58.51)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.129550504187*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.129550504187) to get x
100/16.129550504187=x
6.1998007925912=x
x=6.1998007925912

now we have:
58.51 is 6.1998007925912% of 943.74
