9.58 is what percent of 10.6 - 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 10.6 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 10.6, so we can write it down as 100%=10.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.58 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.58.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10.6
2) x%=9.58
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%=10.6/9.58
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.58 is what percent of 10.6

100%/x%=10.6/9.58
(100/x)*x=(10.6/9.58)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1064718162839*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1064718162839) to get x
100/1.1064718162839=x
90.377358490566=x
x=90.377358490566

now we have:
9.58 is 90.377358490566% of 10.6
