60 is what percent of 247.513 - 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 247.513 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 247.513, so we can write it down as 100%=247.513.
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%=247.513
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%=247.513/60
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 247.513

100%/x%=247.513/60
(100/x)*x=(247.513/60)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.1252166666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.1252166666667) to get x
100/4.1252166666667=x
24.241150969848=x
x=24.241150969848

now we have:
60 is 24.241150969848% of 247.513
