What is 24.28 percent of 60.87 - 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 60.87 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 60.87 is 100%, so we can write it down as 60.87=100%.
4. We know, that x is 24.28% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=24.28%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 60.87=100%
2) x=24.28%
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:
60.87/x=100%/24.28%
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 24.28% of 60.87

60.87/x=100/24.28
(60.87/x)*x=(100/24.28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
60.87=4.1186161449753*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.1186161449753) to get x
60.87/4.1186161449753=x
14.779236=x
x=14.779236

now we have:
24.28% of 60.87=14.779236
