11.15 is what percent of 220 - 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 220 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 220, so we can write it down as 100%=220.
4. We know, that x% equals 11.15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=11.15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=220
2) x%=11.15
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%=220/11.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 11.15 is what percent of 220

100%/x%=220/11.15
(100/x)*x=(220/11.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=19.730941704036*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.730941704036) to get x
100/19.730941704036=x
5.0681818181818=x
x=5.0681818181818

now we have:
11.15 is 5.0681818181818% of 220
