What is 30.83 percent of 59.13 - 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 59.13 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 59.13 is 100%, so we can write it down as 59.13=100%.
4. We know, that x is 30.83% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=30.83%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 59.13=100%
2) x=30.83%
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:
59.13/x=100%/30.83%
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 30.83% of 59.13

59.13/x=100/30.83
(59.13/x)*x=(100/30.83)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
59.13=3.2435939020435*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.2435939020435) to get x
59.13/3.2435939020435=x
18.229779=x
x=18.229779

now we have:
30.83% of 59.13=18.229779
