58.08 is what percent of 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 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 100% equals 6, so we can write it down as 100%=6.
4. We know, that x% equals 58.08 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=58.08.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6
2) x%=58.08
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:
100%/x%=6/58.08
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 58.08 is what percent of 6

100%/x%=6/58.08
(100/x)*x=(6/58.08)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.10330578512397*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.10330578512397) to get x
100/0.10330578512397=x
968=x
x=968

now we have:
58.08 is 968% of 6
