11.32 is what percent of 127 - 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 127 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 127, so we can write it down as 100%=127.
4. We know, that x% equals 11.32 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=11.32.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=127
2) x%=11.32
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%=127/11.32
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 11.32 is what percent of 127

100%/x%=127/11.32
(100/x)*x=(127/11.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.219081272085*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.219081272085) to get x
100/11.219081272085=x
8.9133858267717=x
x=8.9133858267717

now we have:
11.32 is 8.9133858267717% of 127
