If we want to find 60% of 60, we can solve by multiplying 60 by 0.6.
60 x 0.6 = 36
If we wanted to do it another way, we could multiply 60 by 0.5 and 0.1 seperately and add those numbers up.
60 x 0.6 = 36

You're looking for a number [tex]x[/tex] such that
[tex]\dfrac x{60}=\dfrac{60}{100}=60\%[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 60, so that
[tex]\dfrac{60x}{60}=\dfrac{60^2}{100}\implies x=\dfrac{3600}{100}=36[/tex]
Another way of doing it: you can easily find that 10% of 60 is 6. Then 60% would be 6 times 10%, and 6 times 6 is 36.
[tex]\dfrac x{60}=\dfrac{60}{100}=60\%[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 60, so that
[tex]\dfrac{60x}{60}=\dfrac{60^2}{100}\implies x=\dfrac{3600}{100}=36[/tex]
