What is 10.24 percent of 60 - 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 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 60 is 100%, so we can write it down as 60=100%.
4. We know, that x is 10.24% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=10.24%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 60=100%
2) x=10.24%
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:
60/x=100%/10.24%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 10.24% of 60

60/x=100/10.24
(60/x)*x=(100/10.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
60=9.765625*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.765625) to get x
60/9.765625=x
6.144=x
x=6.144

now we have:
10.24% of 60=6.144
