580000 is what percent of 1 - 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 1 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 1, so we can write it down as 100%=1.
4. We know, that x% equals 580000 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=580000.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1
2) x%=580000
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%=1/580000
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 580000 is what percent of 1

100%/x%=1/580000
(100/x)*x=(1/580000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7241379310345E-6*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7241379310345E-6) to get x
100/1.7241379310345E-6=x
58000000=x
x=58000000

now we have:
580000 is 58000000% of 1
