60 is what percent of 14662 - 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 14662 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 14662, so we can write it down as 100%=14662.
4. We know, that x% equals 60 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=60.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14662
2) x%=60
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%=14662/60
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 60 is what percent of 14662

100%/x%=14662/60
(100/x)*x=(14662/60)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=244.36666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (244.36666666667) to get x
100/244.36666666667=x
0.40922111580958=x
x=0.40922111580958

now we have:
60 is 0.40922111580958% of 14662
