11.25 is what percent of 1146 - 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 1146 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 1146, so we can write it down as 100%=1146.
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%=1146
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%=1146/11.25
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 1146

100%/x%=1146/11.25
(100/x)*x=(1146/11.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=101.86666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (101.86666666667) to get x
100/101.86666666667=x
0.98167539267016=x
x=0.98167539267016

now we have:
11.25 is 0.98167539267016% of 1146
