3.99 is what percent of 59.93 - 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 59.93 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 59.93, so we can write it down as 100%=59.93.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=59.93
2) x%=3.99
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%=59.93/3.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.99 is what percent of 59.93

100%/x%=59.93/3.99
(100/x)*x=(59.93/3.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=15.020050125313*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.020050125313) to get x
100/15.020050125313=x
6.6577673952945=x
x=6.6577673952945

now we have:
3.99 is 6.6577673952945% of 59.93
