What is 58.82 percent of 133 - 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 133 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 133 is 100%, so we can write it down as 133=100%.
4. We know, that x is 58.82% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=58.82%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 133=100%
2) x=58.82%
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:
133/x=100%/58.82%
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 58.82% of 133

133/x=100/58.82
(133/x)*x=(100/58.82)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
133=1.7001020061204*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7001020061204) to get x
133/1.7001020061204=x
78.2306=x
x=78.2306

now we have:
58.82% of 133=78.2306
