You've made 60 mistakes in 4260, which as a fraction is 60/4260. To make this a percentage, you've got to make it ?/100. And whatever you do to the bottom of a fraction you do to the top, so to get 4260 to = 100, you divide by 42.6. So 60, the top number, divided by 42.6 = 1.408 and then lots of other numbers. So your answer is 1.408% depending on how many decimal points you want.

On paper you math problem on paper looks like this:
60/4260 = x/100 isolate the variable and solve for x. Mulitply both sides by 100 san you get 6000/4260 = x. I think you can handle it from here.

Divide 60 by 4260
60 / 4260 = 0.014084507
Multiply the decimal by 100 and attach the % sign
0.014084507 x 100 = 1.408450704 %
1.41% rounded to two decimal places.
