59.07 is what percent of 1526.58 - 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 1526.58 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 1526.58, so we can write it down as 100%=1526.58.
4. We know, that x% equals 59.07 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=59.07.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1526.58
2) x%=59.07
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%=1526.58/59.07
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 59.07 is what percent of 1526.58

100%/x%=1526.58/59.07
(100/x)*x=(1526.58/59.07)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=25.843575418994*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (25.843575418994) to get x
100/25.843575418994=x
3.8694336359706=x
x=3.8694336359706

now we have:
