11 is what percent of 7423 - 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 7423 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 7423, so we can write it down as 100%=7423.
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%=7423
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%=7423/11
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 7423

100%/x%=7423/11
(100/x)*x=(7423/11)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=674.81818181818*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (674.81818181818) to get x
100/674.81818181818=x
0.14818806412502=x
x=0.14818806412502

now we have:
11 is 0.14818806412502% of 7423
