22.8 = 38% of 60

Set up a ratio

$\frac{x}{60} = \frac{38}{100}$ $x/60 = 38/100$ x is the unknown part of 60 that is equal

to 38 parts of 100. solve the equation for x

multiply both sides by 60

$60 \times (\frac{x}{60}) = 60 \times (\frac{38}{100})$ $60 xx (x/60) = 60 xx (38/100)$ This gives

$x = 60 \times \frac{38}{100}$ $x = 60 xx 38/100$

x = 22,8

A percentage $p$ $p$ of a number is the number expressed as a fraction of 100. Then the answer is to divide 60 by 100 and multiply the result by 38

If you calculate:

$\frac{60}{100} = 0.60$ $60/100=0.60$ , and now
$0.60 \cdot 38 = 22.8$ $0.60 * 38=22.8$

Equivalently, you can simply multiply:

$60 \cdot \frac{38}{100} = 60 \cdot 0.38 = 22.8$ $60 * 38/100=60 * 0.38=22.8$
