59.97 is what percent of 49 - 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 49 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 49, so we can write it down as 100%=49.
4. We know, that x% equals 59.97 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=59.97.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=49
2) x%=59.97
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%=49/59.97
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 59.97 is what percent of 49

100%/x%=49/59.97
(100/x)*x=(49/59.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.8170752042688*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.8170752042688) to get x
100/0.8170752042688=x
122.38775510204=x
x=122.38775510204

now we have:
59.97 is 122.38775510204% of 49
