11.13 is what percent of 55.23 - 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 55.23 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 55.23, so we can write it down as 100%=55.23.
4. We know, that x% equals 11.13 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=11.13.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=55.23
2) x%=11.13
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%=55.23/11.13
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 11.13 is what percent of 55.23

100%/x%=55.23/11.13
(100/x)*x=(55.23/11.13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.9622641509434*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.9622641509434) to get x
100/4.9622641509434=x
20.152091254753=x
x=20.152091254753

now we have:
11.13 is 20.152091254753% of 55.23
