11.65 is what percent of 24.9 - 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 24.9 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 24.9, so we can write it down as 100%=24.9.
4. We know, that x% equals 11.65 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=11.65.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=24.9
2) x%=11.65
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%=24.9/11.65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 11.65 is what percent of 24.9

100%/x%=24.9/11.65
(100/x)*x=(24.9/11.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.137339055794*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.137339055794) to get x
100/2.137339055794=x
46.787148594378=x
x=46.787148594378

now we have:
11.65 is 46.787148594378% of 24.9
