0.6 is what percent of 192.4 - 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 192.4 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 192.4, so we can write it down as 100%=192.4.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=192.4
2) x%=0.6
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%=192.4/0.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.6 is what percent of 192.4

100%/x%=192.4/0.6
(100/x)*x=(192.4/0.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=320.66666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (320.66666666667) to get x
100/320.66666666667=x
0.31185031185031=x
x=0.31185031185031

now we have:
0.6 is 0.31185031185031% of 192.4
