11.25 is what percent of 10.5 - 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 10.5 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 10.5, so we can write it down as 100%=10.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 11.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=11.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10.5
2) x%=11.25
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%=10.5/11.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 11.25 is what percent of 10.5

100%/x%=10.5/11.25
(100/x)*x=(10.5/11.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.93333333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.93333333333333) to get x
100/0.93333333333333=x
107.14285714286=x
x=107.14285714286

now we have:
11.25 is 107.14285714286% of 10.5
