What is 9.29 percent of 58 - 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 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 is 100%, so we can write it down as 58=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.29% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.29%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 58=100%
2) x=9.29%
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/x=100%/9.29%
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 9.29% of 58

58/x=100/9.29
(58/x)*x=(100/9.29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
58=10.764262648009*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.764262648009) to get x
58/10.764262648009=x
5.3882=x
x=5.3882

now we have:
9.29% of 58=5.3882
