0.11 is what percent of 254 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 254 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 254, so we can write it down as 100%=254.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.11 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.11.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=254
2) x%=0.11
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=254/0.11
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.11 is what percent of 254

100%/x%=254/0.11
(100/x)*x=(254/0.11)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2309.0909090909*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2309.0909090909) to get x
100/2309.0909090909=x
0.043307086614173=x
x=0.043307086614173

now we have:
0.11 is 0.043307086614173% of 254
