11 is what percent of 137820 - 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 137820 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 137820, so we can write it down as 100%=137820.
4. We know, that x% equals 11 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=11.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=137820
2) x%=11
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%=137820/11
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 11 is what percent of 137820

100%/x%=137820/11
(100/x)*x=(137820/11)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12529.090909091*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12529.090909091) to get x
100/12529.090909091=x
0.007981425047163=x
x=0.007981425047163

now we have:
11 is 0.007981425047163% of 137820
