60.24 is what percent of 106.2 - 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 106.2 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 106.2, so we can write it down as 100%=106.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 60.24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=60.24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=106.2
2) x%=60.24
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%=106.2/60.24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 60.24 is what percent of 106.2

100%/x%=106.2/60.24
(100/x)*x=(106.2/60.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7629482071713*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7629482071713) to get x
100/1.7629482071713=x
56.723163841808=x
x=56.723163841808

now we have:
60.24 is 56.723163841808% of 106.2
