What is 5.492 percent of 59000000 - 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 59000000 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 59000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 59000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.492% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.492%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 59000000=100%
2) x=5.492%
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:
59000000/x=100%/5.492%
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 5.492% of 59000000

59000000/x=100/5.492
(59000000/x)*x=(100/5.492)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
59000000=18.208302986162*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.208302986162) to get x
59000000/18.208302986162=x
3240280=x
x=3240280

now we have:
5.492% of 59000000=3240280
