10.85 is what percent of 533.81 - 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 533.81 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 533.81, so we can write it down as 100%=533.81.
4. We know, that x% equals 10.85 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.85.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=533.81
2) x%=10.85
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%=533.81/10.85
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10.85 is what percent of 533.81

100%/x%=533.81/10.85
(100/x)*x=(533.81/10.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=49.199078341014*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (49.199078341014) to get x
100/49.199078341014=x
2.0325584009292=x
x=2.0325584009292

now we have:
10.85 is 2.0325584009292% of 533.81
