Evaluate the following percent problem
55 is 60 percent (%) of what number?
Set up an equation
Let's call our missing number x.
Expressing this in terms of an equation, we get:
55 = 60% * x
Express this as a percentage
Percentage = percent number/100
| 55 = | 60x |
| 100 |
Multiply both sides by 100
| 55 * 100 = | 60 * 100x |
| 100 |
5500 = 60x
Divide each side by 60
| 5500 |
| 60 |
| = |
| 60x |
| 60 |
Cancel both 60
| 5500 |
| 60 |
| = |
| x = | 5500 |
| 60 |
