11.2 is what percent of 25.19 - 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 25.19 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 25.19, so we can write it down as 100%=25.19.
4. We know, that x% equals 11.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=11.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=25.19
2) x%=11.2
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%=25.19/11.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 11.2 is what percent of 25.19

100%/x%=25.19/11.2
(100/x)*x=(25.19/11.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.2491071428571*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2491071428571) to get x
100/2.2491071428571=x
44.46208813021=x
x=44.46208813021

now we have:
11.2 is 44.46208813021% of 25.19
