22.8 = 38% of 60

Set up a ratio

# 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 xx (x/60) = 60 xx (38/100) # This gives

# x = 60 xx 38/100#

x = 22,8

A percentage #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:

#60/100=0.60#, and now
#0.60 * 38=22.8#

Equivalently, you can simply multiply:

#60 * 38/100=60 * 0.38=22.8#
