Percentage Calculation


1. The problem is to find 60p as a percentage of £5.64. 2. Convert 60p to pounds: 60p = £0.60. 3. Use the formula for percentage: $$\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{\text{part}}{\text{whole}}\right) \times 100$$. 4. Substitute the values: $$\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{0.60}{5.64}\right) \times 100$$. 5. Calculate the division: $$\frac{0.60}{5.64} \approx 0.106383$$. 6. Multiply by 100 to get the percentage: $$0.106383 \times 100 = 10.6383$$. 7. Round to two decimal places: 10.64%. Final answer: 60p is approximately 10.64% of £5.64.
