956.67 is what percent of 60000 - 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 60000 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 60000, so we can write it down as 100%=60000.
4. We know, that x% equals 956.67 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=956.67.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=60000
2) x%=956.67
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%=60000/956.67
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 956.67 is what percent of 60000

100%/x%=60000/956.67
(100/x)*x=(60000/956.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=62.717551506789*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (62.717551506789) to get x
100/62.717551506789=x
1.59445=x
x=1.59445

now we have:
956.67 is 1.59445% of 60000
