0.28 is what percent of 11 - 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 11 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 11, so we can write it down as 100%=11.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.28 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.28.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=11
2) x%=0.28
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%=11/0.28
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.28 is what percent of 11

100%/x%=11/0.28
(100/x)*x=(11/0.28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=39.285714285714*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (39.285714285714) to get x
100/39.285714285714=x
2.5454545454545=x
x=2.5454545454545

now we have:
0.28 is 2.5454545454545% of 11
