60 is what percent of 58667 - 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 58667 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 58667, so we can write it down as 100%=58667.
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%=58667
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%=58667/60
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 58667

100%/x%=58667/60
(100/x)*x=(58667/60)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=977.78333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (977.78333333333) to get x
100/977.78333333333=x
0.10227214618099=x
x=0.10227214618099

now we have:
60 is 0.10227214618099% of 58667
