1.16 is what percent of 5.39 - 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 5.39 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 5.39, so we can write it down as 100%=5.39.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.16 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.16.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5.39
2) x%=1.16
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%=5.39/1.16
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.16 is what percent of 5.39

100%/x%=5.39/1.16
(100/x)*x=(5.39/1.16)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.6465517241379*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.6465517241379) to get x
100/4.6465517241379=x
21.52133580705=x
x=21.52133580705

now we have:
1.16 is 21.52133580705% of 5.39
