What is 4.338 percent of 58.239 - 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 58.239 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 58.239 is 100%, so we can write it down as 58.239=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.338% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.338%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 58.239=100%
2) x=4.338%
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:
58.239/x=100%/4.338%
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 4.338% of 58.239

58.239/x=100/4.338
(58.239/x)*x=(100/4.338)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
58.239=23.052097740894*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23.052097740894) to get x
58.239/23.052097740894=x
2.52640782=x
x=2.52640782

now we have:
