Respuesta :

20-05-2015

is means equal
x percent is x/100
of means multiplication

So translating what you were given:

[tex]\sf{10=\frac{x}{100}\times60}[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]\sf{10=\frac{60x}{100}}[/tex]

Simplify it

[tex]\sf{10=\frac{3x}{5}}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 5/3 to isolate x

[tex]\sf{x=\frac{50}{3}}[/tex]

Your final answer is

[tex]\Huge{\boxed{\bf{10~is~16.67~percent~of~60}}}[/tex]
