What is 4.07 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 60000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 60000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.07% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.07%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 60000=100%
2) x=4.07%
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:
60000/x=100%/4.07%
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 4.07% of 60000

60000/x=100/4.07
(60000/x)*x=(100/4.07)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
60000=24.570024570025*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (24.570024570025) to get x
60000/24.570024570025=x
2442=x
x=2442

now we have:
4.07% of 60000=2442
