What is 0.59 percent of 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 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 59 is 100%, so we can write it down as 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) 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:
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 59

59/x=100/0.59
(59/x)*x=(100/0.59)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
59=169.49152542373*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (169.49152542373) to get x
59/169.49152542373=x
0.3481=x
x=0.3481

now we have:
0.59% of 59=0.3481
