11 is what percent of 754 - 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 754 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 754, so we can write it down as 100%=754.
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%=754
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%=754/11
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 754

100%/x%=754/11
(100/x)*x=(754/11)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=68.545454545455*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (68.545454545455) to get x
100/68.545454545455=x
1.4588859416446=x
x=1.4588859416446

now we have:
11 is 1.4588859416446% of 754
