11.34 is what percent of 24.4 - 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 24.4 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 24.4, so we can write it down as 100%=24.4.
4. We know, that x% equals 11.34 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=11.34.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=24.4
2) x%=11.34
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%=24.4/11.34
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 11.34 is what percent of 24.4

100%/x%=24.4/11.34
(100/x)*x=(24.4/11.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.1516754850088*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1516754850088) to get x
100/2.1516754850088=x
46.475409836066=x
x=46.475409836066

now we have:
11.34 is 46.475409836066% of 24.4
