11.6 is what percent of 11.18 - 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 11.18 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 11.18, so we can write it down as 100%=11.18.
4. We know, that x% equals 11.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=11.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=11.18
2) x%=11.6
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%=11.18/11.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 11.6 is what percent of 11.18

100%/x%=11.18/11.6
(100/x)*x=(11.18/11.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.96379310344828*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.96379310344828) to get x
100/0.96379310344828=x
103.75670840787=x
x=103.75670840787

now we have:
11.6 is 103.75670840787% of 11.18
