60 is what percent of 670 - 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 670 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 670, so we can write it down as 100%=670.
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%=670
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%=670/60
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 670

100%/x%=670/60
(100/x)*x=(670/60)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.1666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.1666666667) to get x
100/11.1666666667=x
8.9552238806=x
x=8.9552238806

now we have:
60 is 8.9552238806% of 670
