11.73 is what percent of 11.66 - 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 11.66 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 11.66, so we can write it down as 100%=11.66.
4. We know, that x% equals 11.73 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=11.73.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=11.66
2) x%=11.73
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%=11.66/11.73
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 11.73 is what percent of 11.66

100%/x%=11.66/11.73
(100/x)*x=(11.66/11.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.99403239556692*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.99403239556692) to get x
100/0.99403239556692=x
100.60034305317=x
x=100.60034305317

now we have:
11.73 is 100.60034305317% of 11.66
