What is 0.58 percent of 124 - 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 124 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 124 is 100%, so we can write it down as 124=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.58% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.58%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 124=100%
2) x=0.58%
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:
124/x=100%/0.58%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 0.58% of 124

124/x=100/0.58
(124/x)*x=(100/0.58)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
124=172.41379310345*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (172.41379310345) to get x
124/172.41379310345=x
0.7192=x
x=0.7192

now we have:
0.58% of 124=0.7192
