12.06 is what percent of 60.32 - 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 60.32 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 60.32, so we can write it down as 100%=60.32.
4. We know, that x% equals 12.06 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=12.06.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=60.32
2) x%=12.06
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%=60.32/12.06
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 12.06 is what percent of 60.32

100%/x%=60.32/12.06
(100/x)*x=(60.32/12.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.0016583747927*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.0016583747927) to get x
100/5.0016583747927=x
19.993368700265=x
x=19.993368700265

now we have:
12.06 is 19.993368700265% of 60.32
