What is 85 percent of 60?

Your answer is going to be 51. I’m going to try to give my best explanation with all the math that comes with calculating it. Let’s see ...

60/x=100/85

(60/x) * x = (100/85) * x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

60=1.17647058824*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.17647058824) to get x

60/1.17647058824=x

51=x

x=51

51 is 85 percent of 60. Just multiply 60 by. 85 to get the answer because a percentage is a fraction of something out of 100.

(85/100) (60) = 51
