0.35 is what percent of 11.71 - 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 11.71 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 11.71, so we can write it down as 100%=11.71.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.35 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.35.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=11.71
2) x%=0.35
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%=11.71/0.35
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.35 is what percent of 11.71

100%/x%=11.71/0.35
(100/x)*x=(11.71/0.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=33.457142857143*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (33.457142857143) to get x
100/33.457142857143=x
2.9888983774552=x
x=2.9888983774552

now we have:
0.35 is 2.9888983774552% of 11.71
