58.67 is what percent of 751.29 - 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 751.29 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 751.29, so we can write it down as 100%=751.29.
4. We know, that x% equals 58.67 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=58.67.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=751.29
2) x%=58.67
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%=751.29/58.67
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 58.67 is what percent of 751.29

100%/x%=751.29/58.67
(100/x)*x=(751.29/58.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.805351968638*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.805351968638) to get x
100/12.805351968638=x
7.8092347828402=x
x=7.8092347828402

now we have:
