60.56 is what percent of 976 - 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 976 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 976, so we can write it down as 100%=976.
4. We know, that x% equals 60.56 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=60.56.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=976
2) x%=60.56
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%=976/60.56
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 60.56 is what percent of 976

100%/x%=976/60.56
(100/x)*x=(976/60.56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.116248348745*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.116248348745) to get x
100/16.116248348745=x
6.2049180327869=x
x=6.2049180327869

now we have:
60.56 is 6.2049180327869% of 976
