11.67 is what percent of 57.24 - 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 57.24 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 57.24, so we can write it down as 100%=57.24.
4. We know, that x% equals 11.67 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=11.67.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=57.24
2) x%=11.67
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%=57.24/11.67
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 11.67 is what percent of 57.24

100%/x%=57.24/11.67
(100/x)*x=(57.24/11.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.9048843187661*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.9048843187661) to get x
100/4.9048843187661=x
20.38784067086=x
x=20.38784067086

now we have:
11.67 is 20.38784067086% of 57.24
