What is 34.9 percent of 60.62 - 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 60.62 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 60.62 is 100%, so we can write it down as 60.62=100%.
4. We know, that x is 34.9% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=34.9%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 60.62=100%
2) x=34.9%
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:
60.62/x=100%/34.9%
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 34.9% of 60.62

60.62/x=100/34.9
(60.62/x)*x=(100/34.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
60.62=2.865329512894*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.865329512894) to get x
60.62/2.865329512894=x
21.15638=x
x=21.15638

now we have:
34.9% of 60.62=21.15638
