What is 60000 percent of 21 - 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 21 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 21 is 100%, so we can write it down as 21=100%.
4. We know, that x is 60000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=60000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 21=100%
2) x=60000%
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:
21/x=100%/60000%
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 60000% of 21

21/x=100/60000
(21/x)*x=(100/60000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
21=0.0016666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0016666666666667) to get x
21/0.0016666666666667=x
12600=x
x=12600

now we have:
60000% of 21=12600
