60 is what percent of 27219 - 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 27219 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 27219, so we can write it down as 100%=27219.
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%=27219
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%=27219/60
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 27219

100%/x%=27219/60
(100/x)*x=(27219/60)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=453.65*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (453.65) to get x
100/453.65=x
0.2204342554833=x
x=0.2204342554833

now we have:
60 is 0.2204342554833% of 27219
