60 is what percent of 1899.99 - 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 1899.99 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 1899.99, so we can write it down as 100%=1899.99.
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%=1899.99
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%=1899.99/60
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 1899.99

100%/x%=1899.99/60
(100/x)*x=(1899.99/60)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=31.6665*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (31.6665) to get x
100/31.6665=x
3.1579113574282=x
x=3.1579113574282

now we have:
60 is 3.1579113574282% of 1899.99
