10.98 is what percent of 72.11 - 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 72.11 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 72.11, so we can write it down as 100%=72.11.
4. We know, that x% equals 10.98 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.98.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=72.11
2) x%=10.98
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%=72.11/10.98
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10.98 is what percent of 72.11

100%/x%=72.11/10.98
(100/x)*x=(72.11/10.98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.5673952641166*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.5673952641166) to get x
100/6.5673952641166=x
15.226736929691=x
x=15.226736929691

now we have:
10.98 is 15.226736929691% of 72.11
