11.87 is what percent of 16.95 - 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 16.95 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 16.95, so we can write it down as 100%=16.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 11.87 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=11.87.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16.95
2) x%=11.87
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%=16.95/11.87
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 11.87 is what percent of 16.95

100%/x%=16.95/11.87
(100/x)*x=(16.95/11.87)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4279696714406*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4279696714406) to get x
100/1.4279696714406=x
70.029498525074=x
x=70.029498525074

now we have:
11.87 is 70.029498525074% of 16.95
