11.16 is what percent of 293.5 - 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 293.5 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 293.5, so we can write it down as 100%=293.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 11.16 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=11.16.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=293.5
2) x%=11.16
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%=293.5/11.16
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 11.16 is what percent of 293.5

100%/x%=293.5/11.16
(100/x)*x=(293.5/11.16)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=26.299283154122*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (26.299283154122) to get x
100/26.299283154122=x
3.8023850085179=x
x=3.8023850085179

now we have:
11.16 is 3.8023850085179% of 293.5
