60 is what percent of 90.3 - 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 90.3 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 90.3, so we can write it down as 100%=90.3.
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%=90.3
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%=90.3/60
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 90.3

100%/x%=90.3/60
(100/x)*x=(90.3/60)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.505*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.505) to get x
100/1.505=x
66.445182724252=x
x=66.445182724252

now we have:
60 is 66.445182724252% of 90.3
