Said better could be, "I have 58 hours as 100% of time this week and two of the jobs took 12.5 hours and an unknown amount of time, each. What is the percent of work time for each job?"

One hundred percent of the work time was 58 hours. One of the jobs was 100%2A%2812.5%2F58%29 percent of the time, and the other job was 100-100%2A%2812.5%2F58%29.

The computed results are 21.55% and 78.45%.
That is accuracy only to the nearest hundredths of a percent.
