11.45 is what percent of 101 - 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 101 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 101, so we can write it down as 100%=101.
4. We know, that x% equals 11.45 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=11.45.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=101
2) x%=11.45
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%=101/11.45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 11.45 is what percent of 101

100%/x%=101/11.45
(100/x)*x=(101/11.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.82096069869*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.82096069869) to get x
100/8.82096069869=x
11.336633663366=x
x=11.336633663366

now we have:
11.45 is 11.336633663366% of 101
