What is 11.38 percent of 58 - 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 58 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 58 is 100%, so we can write it down as 58=100%.
4. We know, that x is 11.38% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=11.38%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 58=100%
2) x=11.38%
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:
58/x=100%/11.38%
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 11.38% of 58

58/x=100/11.38
(58/x)*x=(100/11.38)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
58=8.7873462214411*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.7873462214411) to get x
58/8.7873462214411=x
6.6004=x
x=6.6004

now we have:
11.38% of 58=6.6004
