28 is what percent of 60.1 - 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 60.1 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 60.1, so we can write it down as 100%=60.1.
4. We know, that x% equals 28 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=28.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=60.1
2) x%=28
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%=60.1/28
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 28 is what percent of 60.1

100%/x%=60.1/28
(100/x)*x=(60.1/28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.1464285714286*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1464285714286) to get x
100/2.1464285714286=x
46.589018302829=x
x=46.589018302829

now we have:
28 is 46.589018302829% of 60.1
