11 is what percent of 32.5 - 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 32.5 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 32.5, so we can write it down as 100%=32.5.
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%=32.5
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%=32.5/11
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 32.5

100%/x%=32.5/11
(100/x)*x=(32.5/11)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.9545454545455*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.9545454545455) to get x
100/2.9545454545455=x
33.846153846154=x
x=33.846153846154

now we have:
11 is 33.846153846154% of 32.5
