1.48 is what percent of 60 - 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 60 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 60, so we can write it down as 100%=60.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=60
2) x%=1.48
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%=60/1.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.48 is what percent of 60

100%/x%=60/1.48
(100/x)*x=(60/1.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=40.540540540541*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (40.540540540541) to get x
100/40.540540540541=x
2.4666666666667=x
x=2.4666666666667

now we have:
1.48 is 2.4666666666667% of 60
