59.4 is what percent of 106.09 - 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 106.09 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 106.09, so we can write it down as 100%=106.09.
4. We know, that x% equals 59.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=59.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=106.09
2) x%=59.4
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%=106.09/59.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 59.4 is what percent of 106.09

100%/x%=106.09/59.4
(100/x)*x=(106.09/59.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7860269360269*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7860269360269) to get x
100/1.7860269360269=x
55.990197002545=x
x=55.990197002545

now we have:
59.4 is 55.990197002545% of 106.09
