What is 31.998 percent of 58.32 - 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 58.32 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 58.32 is 100%, so we can write it down as 58.32=100%.
4. We know, that x is 31.998% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=31.998%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 58.32=100%
2) x=31.998%
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:
58.32/x=100%/31.998%
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 31.998% of 58.32

58.32/x=100/31.998
(58.32/x)*x=(100/31.998)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
58.32=3.1251953247078*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.1251953247078) to get x
58.32/3.1251953247078=x
18.6612336=x
x=18.6612336

now we have:
31.998% of 58.32=18.6612336
