11.935 is what percent of 15.36 - 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 15.36 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 15.36, so we can write it down as 100%=15.36.
4. We know, that x% equals 11.935 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=11.935.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=15.36
2) x%=11.935
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%=15.36/11.935
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 11.935 is what percent of 15.36

100%/x%=15.36/11.935
(100/x)*x=(15.36/11.935)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2869710934227*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2869710934227) to get x
100/1.2869710934227=x
77.701822916667=x
x=77.701822916667

now we have:
11.935 is 77.701822916667% of 15.36
