11.38 is what percent of 11.1 - 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 11.1 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 11.1, so we can write it down as 100%=11.1.
4. We know, that x% equals 11.38 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=11.38.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=11.1
2) x%=11.38
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%=11.1/11.38
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 11.38 is what percent of 11.1

100%/x%=11.1/11.38
(100/x)*x=(11.1/11.38)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.97539543057996*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.97539543057996) to get x
100/0.97539543057996=x
102.52252252252=x
x=102.52252252252

now we have:
11.38 is 102.52252252252% of 11.1
