What is 41.02 percent of 58.6 - 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 58.6 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 58.6 is 100%, so we can write it down as 58.6=100%.
4. We know, that x is 41.02% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=41.02%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 58.6=100%
2) x=41.02%
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:
58.6/x=100%/41.02%
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 41.02% of 58.6

58.6/x=100/41.02
(58.6/x)*x=(100/41.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
58.6=2.4378352023403*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.4378352023403) to get x
58.6/2.4378352023403=x
24.03772=x
x=24.03772

now we have:
41.02% of 58.6=24.03772
