What is 98.54 percent of 59.54 - 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 59.54 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 59.54 is 100%, so we can write it down as 59.54=100%.
4. We know, that x is 98.54% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=98.54%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 59.54=100%
2) x=98.54%
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:
59.54/x=100%/98.54%
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 98.54% of 59.54

59.54/x=100/98.54
(59.54/x)*x=(100/98.54)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
59.54=1.0148163182464*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0148163182464) to get x
59.54/1.0148163182464=x
58.670716=x
x=58.670716

now we have:
98.54% of 59.54=58.670716
