129.5 is what 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 100% equals 60, so we can write it down as 100%=60.
4. We know, that x% equals 129.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=129.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=60
2) x%=129.5
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:
100%/x%=60/129.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 129.5 is what percent of 60

100%/x%=60/129.5
(100/x)*x=(60/129.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.46332046332046*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.46332046332046) to get x
100/0.46332046332046=x
215.83333333333=x
x=215.83333333333

now we have:
129.5 is 215.83333333333% of 60
