11.76 is what percent of 2765 - 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 2765 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 2765, so we can write it down as 100%=2765.
4. We know, that x% equals 11.76 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=11.76.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2765
2) x%=11.76
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%=2765/11.76
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 11.76 is what percent of 2765

100%/x%=2765/11.76
(100/x)*x=(2765/11.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=235.11904761905*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (235.11904761905) to get x
100/235.11904761905=x
0.4253164556962=x
x=0.4253164556962

now we have:
11.76 is 0.4253164556962% of 2765
