89.95 is what percent of 60.95 - 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 60.95 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 60.95, so we can write it down as 100%=60.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 89.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=89.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=60.95
2) x%=89.95
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%=60.95/89.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 89.95 is what percent of 60.95

100%/x%=60.95/89.95
(100/x)*x=(60.95/89.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.67759866592551*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.67759866592551) to get x
100/0.67759866592551=x
147.57998359311=x
x=147.57998359311

now we have:
89.95 is 147.57998359311% of 60.95
