11 is what percent of 15114 - 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 15114 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 15114, so we can write it down as 100%=15114.
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%=15114
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%=15114/11
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 15114

100%/x%=15114/11
(100/x)*x=(15114/11)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1374*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1374) to get x
100/1374=x
0.072780203784571=x
x=0.072780203784571

now we have:
11 is 0.072780203784571% of 15114
