13.69 is what percent of 11.62 - 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 11.62 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 11.62, so we can write it down as 100%=11.62.
4. We know, that x% equals 13.69 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13.69.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=11.62
2) x%=13.69
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%=11.62/13.69
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13.69 is what percent of 11.62

100%/x%=11.62/13.69
(100/x)*x=(11.62/13.69)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.84879474068663*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.84879474068663) to get x
100/0.84879474068663=x
117.81411359725=x
x=117.81411359725

now we have:
13.69 is 117.81411359725% of 11.62
