49 is what percent of 60864 - 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 60864 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 60864, so we can write it down as 100%=60864.
4. We know, that x% equals 49 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=49.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=60864
2) x%=49
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%=60864/49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 49 is what percent of 60864

100%/x%=60864/49
(100/x)*x=(60864/49)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1242.1224489796*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1242.1224489796) to get x
100/1242.1224489796=x
0.080507360672976=x
x=0.080507360672976

now we have:
49 is 0.080507360672976% of 60864
