What is 0.59 percent of 0.59 - 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 0.59 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 0.59 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.59=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.59% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.59%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.59=100%
2) x=0.59%
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:
0.59/x=100%/0.59%
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 0.59% of 0.59

0.59/x=100/0.59
(0.59/x)*x=(100/0.59)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.59=169.491525424*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (169.491525424) to get x
0.59/169.491525424=x
0.003481=x
x=0.003481

now we have:
0.59% of 0.59=0.003481
