11.25 is what percent of 15.01 - 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 15.01 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 15.01, so we can write it down as 100%=15.01.
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%=15.01
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%=15.01/11.25
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 15.01

100%/x%=15.01/11.25
(100/x)*x=(15.01/11.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3342222222222*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3342222222222) to get x
100/1.3342222222222=x
74.950033311126=x
x=74.950033311126

now we have:
11.25 is 74.950033311126% of 15.01
