11.96 is what percent of 100.92 - 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 100.92 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 100.92, so we can write it down as 100%=100.92.
4. We know, that x% equals 11.96 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=11.96.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=100.92
2) x%=11.96
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%=100.92/11.96
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 11.96 is what percent of 100.92

100%/x%=100.92/11.96
(100/x)*x=(100.92/11.96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.438127090301*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.438127090301) to get x
100/8.438127090301=x
11.850971066191=x
x=11.850971066191

now we have:
11.96 is 11.850971066191% of 100.92
