2600.39 is what percent of 60009 - 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 60009 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 60009, so we can write it down as 100%=60009.
4. We know, that x% equals 2600.39 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2600.39.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=60009
2) x%=2600.39
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%=60009/2600.39
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2600.39 is what percent of 60009

100%/x%=60009/2600.39
(100/x)*x=(60009/2600.39)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=23.076923076923*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23.076923076923) to get x
100/23.076923076923=x
4.3333333333333=x
x=4.3333333333333

now we have:
2600.39 is 4.3333333333333% of 60009
