Question

10 Is what percent of 60

Answer 1

is means equal
x percent is x/100
of means multiplication

So translating what you were given:


`\sf{10=(x)/(100)*60}`

Solve for x


`\sf{10=(60x)/(100)}`

Simplify it


`\sf{10=(3x)/(5)}`

Multiply both sides by 5/3 to isolate x


`\sf{x=(50)/(3)}`

Your final answer is


`\Huge{\boxed{\bf{10~is~16.67~percent~of~60}}}`
