11.49 is what percent of 19.95 - 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 19.95 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 19.95, so we can write it down as 100%=19.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 11.49 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=11.49.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=19.95
2) x%=11.49
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%=19.95/11.49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 11.49 is what percent of 19.95

100%/x%=19.95/11.49
(100/x)*x=(19.95/11.49)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7362924281984*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7362924281984) to get x
100/1.7362924281984=x
57.593984962406=x
x=57.593984962406

now we have:
11.49 is 57.593984962406% of 19.95
