11.088 is what percent of 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 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 5, so we can write it down as 100%=5.
4. We know, that x% equals 11.088 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=11.088.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5
2) x%=11.088
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%=5/11.088
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 11.088 is what percent of 5

100%/x%=5/11.088
(100/x)*x=(5/11.088)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.45093795093795*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.45093795093795) to get x
100/0.45093795093795=x
221.76=x
x=221.76

now we have:
11.088 is 221.76% of 5
