60.08 is what percent of 737.08 - 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 737.08 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 737.08, so we can write it down as 100%=737.08.
4. We know, that x% equals 60.08 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=60.08.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=737.08
2) x%=60.08
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%=737.08/60.08
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 60.08 is what percent of 737.08

100%/x%=737.08/60.08
(100/x)*x=(737.08/60.08)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.268308921438*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.268308921438) to get x
100/12.268308921438=x
8.1510826504586=x
x=8.1510826504586

now we have:
60.08 is 8.1510826504586% of 737.08
