59.06 is what percent of 2571.41 - 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 2571.41 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 2571.41, so we can write it down as 100%=2571.41.
4. We know, that x% equals 59.06 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=59.06.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2571.41
2) x%=59.06
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%=2571.41/59.06
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 59.06 is what percent of 2571.41

100%/x%=2571.41/59.06
(100/x)*x=(2571.41/59.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=43.538943447342*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (43.538943447342) to get x
100/43.538943447342=x
2.2967943657371=x
x=2.2967943657371

now we have:
