0.8 is what percent of 11.1 - 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 11.1 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 11.1, so we can write it down as 100%=11.1.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=11.1
2) x%=0.8
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%=11.1/0.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.8 is what percent of 11.1

100%/x%=11.1/0.8
(100/x)*x=(11.1/0.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.875*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.875) to get x
100/13.875=x
7.2072072072072=x
x=7.2072072072072

now we have:
0.8 is 7.2072072072072% of 11.1
