59 is what percent of 67000 - 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 67000 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 67000, so we can write it down as 100%=67000.
4. We know, that x% equals 59 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=59.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=67000
2) x%=59
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%=67000/59
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 59 is what percent of 67000

100%/x%=67000/59
(100/x)*x=(67000/59)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1135.593220339*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1135.593220339) to get x
100/1135.593220339=x
0.088059701492537=x
x=0.088059701492537

now we have:
59 is 0.088059701492537% of 67000
