1.89 is what percent of 7.11 - 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 7.11 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 7.11, so we can write it down as 100%=7.11.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.89 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.89.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7.11
2) x%=1.89
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%=7.11/1.89
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.89 is what percent of 7.11

100%/x%=7.11/1.89
(100/x)*x=(7.11/1.89)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.7619047619048*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7619047619048) to get x
100/3.7619047619048=x
26.582278481013=x
x=26.582278481013

now we have:
1.89 is 26.582278481013% of 7.11
