Question

What percent of 60 is 42?

Answer 1

70% of 60 is 42

Divide 42 over 60:

`(42)/(60) = 0.7`

Multiply 0.7 by 100:

`0.7 * 100 = 70`

Answer 2

42 = x% * 60

42 = x/100 * 60

42 = x/10 * 6

Multiply 10 on both sides.

420 = x * 6

6x = 420

Divide 6 on both sides.

x = 420/6

x = 70


42 is 70 percent of 60.
