What is 50.625 percent of 60.5 - 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 60.5 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 60.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 60.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 50.625% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=50.625%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 60.5=100%
2) x=50.625%
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:
60.5/x=100%/50.625%
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 50.625% of 60.5

60.5/x=100/50.625
(60.5/x)*x=(100/50.625)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
60.5=1.9753086419753*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9753086419753) to get x
60.5/1.9753086419753=x
30.628125=x
x=30.628125

now we have:
50.625% of 60.5=30.628125
