Setup the proportion. Percent means number of parts in 100 parts. You want to find what is the whole part.
W is the whole, 126 is the part of the whole. As written, the proportion shows the unknown W in a denominator. The reciprocals of the fractions also equal, so...
Multiply BOTH sides of the equation by 126. You still have equality and you will have solved for W.
But you then wanted 60% of W. Continue like this:
You want finally,
=
You want to simplify from that.
