Let's solve this step-by-step to find out what percent 60.9 is of 64 and then round it to the nearest tenth.
1. Set up the percentage formula:
[tex]\[
\text{percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{part}}{\text{whole}} \right) \times 100
\][/tex]
Here, the "part" is 60.9 and the "whole" is 64.
2. Calculate the fraction:
[tex]\[
\frac{60.9}{64} = 0.9515625
\][/tex]
3. Convert the fraction to a percentage:
[tex]\[
0.9515625 \times 100 = 95.15625
\][/tex]
4. Round to the nearest tenth:
To round to the nearest tenth, look at the hundredths place (the second digit to the right of the decimal). If it's 5 or more, round up the tenths place by one. If it's less than 5, keep the tenths place the same.
Here, the number in the hundredths place is 5, so we round up the tenths place from 1 to 2.
[tex]\[
95.15625 \approx 95.2
\][/tex]
Therefore, 60.9 is approximately 95.2% of 64.
