60.37 is what percent of 75 - 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 75 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 75, so we can write it down as 100%=75.
4. We know, that x% equals 60.37 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=60.37.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=75
2) x%=60.37
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%=75/60.37
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 60.37 is what percent of 75

100%/x%=75/60.37
(100/x)*x=(75/60.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2423389100547*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2423389100547) to get x
100/1.2423389100547=x
80.493333333333=x
x=80.493333333333

now we have:
60.37 is 80.493333333333% of 75
