11.9 is what percent of 55000000 - 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 55000000 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 55000000, so we can write it down as 100%=55000000.
4. We know, that x% equals 11.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=11.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=55000000
2) x%=11.9
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%=55000000/11.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 11.9 is what percent of 55000000

100%/x%=55000000/11.9
(100/x)*x=(55000000/11.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4621848.7394958*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4621848.7394958) to get x
100/4621848.7394958=x
2.1636363636364E-5=x
x=2.1636363636364E-5

now we have:
11.9 is 2.1636363636364E-5% of 55000000
