59.56 is what percent of 999.8 - 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 999.8 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 999.8, so we can write it down as 100%=999.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 59.56 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=59.56.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=999.8
2) x%=59.56
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%=999.8/59.56
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 59.56 is what percent of 999.8

100%/x%=999.8/59.56
(100/x)*x=(999.8/59.56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.78643384822*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.78643384822) to get x
100/16.78643384822=x
5.9571914382877=x
x=5.9571914382877

now we have:
59.56 is 5.9571914382877% of 999.8
