11.01 is what percent of 12.95 - 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 12.95 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 12.95, so we can write it down as 100%=12.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 11.01 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=11.01.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=12.95
2) x%=11.01
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%=12.95/11.01
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 11.01 is what percent of 12.95

100%/x%=12.95/11.01
(100/x)*x=(12.95/11.01)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1762034514078*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1762034514078) to get x
100/1.1762034514078=x
85.019305019305=x
x=85.019305019305

now we have:
11.01 is 85.019305019305% of 12.95
