What is 88.3 percent of 58.8 - 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 58.8 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 58.8 is 100%, so we can write it down as 58.8=100%.
4. We know, that x is 88.3% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=88.3%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 58.8=100%
2) x=88.3%
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:
58.8/x=100%/88.3%
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 88.3% of 58.8

58.8/x=100/88.3
(58.8/x)*x=(100/88.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
58.8=1.1325028312571*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1325028312571) to get x
58.8/1.1325028312571=x
51.9204=x
x=51.9204

now we have:
88.3% of 58.8=51.9204
