60.99 is what percent of 144.01 - 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 144.01 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 144.01, so we can write it down as 100%=144.01.
4. We know, that x% equals 60.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=60.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=144.01
2) x%=60.99
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%=144.01/60.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 60.99 is what percent of 144.01

100%/x%=144.01/60.99
(100/x)*x=(144.01/60.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.3612067552058*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3612067552058) to get x
100/2.3612067552058=x
42.351225609333=x
x=42.351225609333

now we have:
60.99 is 42.351225609333% of 144.01
