What is 60.54 percent of 80.72 - 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 80.72 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 80.72 is 100%, so we can write it down as 80.72=100%.
4. We know, that x is 60.54% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=60.54%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 80.72=100%
2) x=60.54%
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:
80.72/x=100%/60.54%
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 60.54% of 80.72

80.72/x=100/60.54
(80.72/x)*x=(100/60.54)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
80.72=1.6518004625041*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6518004625041) to get x
80.72/1.6518004625041=x
48.867888=x
x=48.867888

now we have:
60.54% of 80.72=48.867888
