95 = 95% = \(\frac{unknown}{95}\)
60% = \(\frac{60}{100}\)
\(\frac{60}{100} = \frac{3}{5}\)
You get \(\frac{3}{5}\) by dividing the numerator and denominator of \(\frac{60}{100}\) both by 12.
Next
\(\frac{unknown}{95}\) ÷ \(\frac{3}{5}\) = \(\frac{57}{95}\) ÷ \(\frac{3}{5}\)
You get \(\frac{57}{95}\) because you know that the denominator, 5, gets to 95 by multiplying it by 19. You multiply the numerator, 3, by 19 to get 57.
