11 is what percent of 16.66 - 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 16.66 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 16.66, so we can write it down as 100%=16.66.
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%=16.66
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%=16.66/11
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 16.66

100%/x%=16.66/11
(100/x)*x=(16.66/11)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5145454545455*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5145454545455) to get x
100/1.5145454545455=x
66.026410564226=x
x=66.026410564226

now we have:
11 is 66.026410564226% of 16.66
