Answer:

47.578%

Explanation:

When dealing with simple percentage problems like this, we can solve using the equaiton P%x = y, where

  • P is the percentage as a decimal,
  • x is the "of" value,
  • and y is the "is" value.
  • We know that x is the "of" value and y is the "is" value because the equation means P% of x is y.

Therefore, we can substitute 60.9 for y and 128 for x to find the percentage as a decimal:

(128P = 60.9) / 128

P (as a decimal)= 0.47578125

Now, we multiply by 100 and round to the nearest thousandth to get our final answer:

P = 0.47578125 * 100

P = 47.578125

P = 47.578

Thus, 60.9 is about 47.578% of 128.
