What is 60.96 percent of 55.07 - 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 55.07 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 55.07 is 100%, so we can write it down as 55.07=100%.
4. We know, that x is 60.96% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=60.96%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 55.07=100%
2) x=60.96%
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:
55.07/x=100%/60.96%
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 60.96% of 55.07

55.07/x=100/60.96
(55.07/x)*x=(100/60.96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
55.07=1.6404199475066*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6404199475066) to get x
55.07/1.6404199475066=x
33.570672=x
x=33.570672

now we have:
60.96% of 55.07=33.570672
