What is 60 percent of 80320 - 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 80320 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 80320 is 100%, so we can write it down as 80320=100%.
4. We know, that x is 60% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=60%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 80320=100%
2) x=60%
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:
80320/x=100%/60%
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 60% of 80320

80320/x=100/60
(80320/x)*x=(100/60)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
80320=1.6666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6666666666667) to get x
80320/1.6666666666667=x
48192=x
x=48192

now we have:
60% of 80320=48192
