11.25 is what percent of 376 - 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 376 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 376, so we can write it down as 100%=376.
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%=376
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%=376/11.25
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 376

100%/x%=376/11.25
(100/x)*x=(376/11.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=33.422222222222*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (33.422222222222) to get x
100/33.422222222222=x
2.9920212765957=x
x=2.9920212765957

now we have:
11.25 is 2.9920212765957% of 376
