59.95 is what percent of 112.34 - 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 112.34 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 112.34, so we can write it down as 100%=112.34.
4. We know, that x% equals 59.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=59.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=112.34
2) x%=59.95
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%=112.34/59.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 59.95 is what percent of 112.34

100%/x%=112.34/59.95
(100/x)*x=(112.34/59.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.873894912427*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.873894912427) to get x
100/1.873894912427=x
53.364785472672=x
x=53.364785472672

now we have:
59.95 is 53.364785472672% of 112.34
