11.98 is what percent of 22.95 - 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 22.95 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 22.95, so we can write it down as 100%=22.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 11.98 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=11.98.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=22.95
2) x%=11.98
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%=22.95/11.98
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 11.98 is what percent of 22.95

100%/x%=22.95/11.98
(100/x)*x=(22.95/11.98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.9156928213689*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9156928213689) to get x
100/1.9156928213689=x
52.200435729847=x
x=52.200435729847

now we have:
11.98 is 52.200435729847% of 22.95
