What is 57.24 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 57.24% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=57.24%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 60=100%
2) x=57.24%
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%/57.24%
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 57.24% of 60

60/x=100/57.24
(60/x)*x=(100/57.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
60=1.7470300489168*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7470300489168) to get x
60/1.7470300489168=x
34.344=x
x=34.344

now we have:
57.24% of 60=34.344
