11.1 is what percent of 39.27 - 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 39.27 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 39.27, so we can write it down as 100%=39.27.
4. We know, that x% equals 11.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=11.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=39.27
2) x%=11.1
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%=39.27/11.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 11.1 is what percent of 39.27

100%/x%=39.27/11.1
(100/x)*x=(39.27/11.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.5378378378378*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.5378378378378) to get x
100/3.5378378378378=x
28.265851795264=x
x=28.265851795264

now we have:
11.1 is 28.265851795264% of 39.27
