60.95 is what percent of 15000 - 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 15000 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 15000, so we can write it down as 100%=15000.
4. We know, that x% equals 60.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=60.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=15000
2) x%=60.95
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%=15000/60.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 60.95 is what percent of 15000

100%/x%=15000/60.95
(100/x)*x=(15000/60.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=246.10336341263*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (246.10336341263) to get x
100/246.10336341263=x
0.40633333333333=x
x=0.40633333333333

now we have:
60.95 is 0.40633333333333% of 15000
