Question

What percent of 60 is 63?

Answer 1

See the entire solution process below:

Explanation:

"Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100", Therefore x% (the solution we are looking for) can be written as `x/100`.

We can now write and solve:

`63/60 = x/100`

`color(red)(100) xx 63/60 = color(red)(100) xx x/100`

`6300/60 = cancel(color(red)(100)) xx x/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(100)))`

`105 = x`

63 is 105% of 60

Answer 2

`105%`

Explanation:

Percents are fractions with denominator `100`

Let the percentage be `x`

So,

`rarrx` `"percent of"` `60=63`

`rarr63*x/100=63`

`rarrcancel60^3*x/cancel100^5=63`

`rarr(3x)/5=63`

`rarr3x=63*5`

`rarr3x=315`

`rarrx=315/3`

`color(green)(rArrx=105%`

Hope this helps..... :)
