60.06 is what percent of 176.59 - 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 176.59 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 176.59, so we can write it down as 100%=176.59.
4. We know, that x% equals 60.06 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=60.06.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=176.59
2) x%=60.06
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%=176.59/60.06
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 60.06 is what percent of 176.59

100%/x%=176.59/60.06
(100/x)*x=(176.59/60.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.9402264402264*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.9402264402264) to get x
100/2.9402264402264=x
34.010985899541=x
x=34.010985899541

now we have:
60.06 is 34.010985899541% of 176.59
