11 is what percent of 23.234 - 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 23.234 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 23.234, so we can write it down as 100%=23.234.
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%=23.234
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%=23.234/11
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 23.234

100%/x%=23.234/11
(100/x)*x=(23.234/11)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.1121818181818*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1121818181818) to get x
100/2.1121818181818=x
47.344409055694=x
x=47.344409055694

now we have:
11 is 47.344409055694% of 23.234
