1434.78 is what percent of 11900 - 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 11900 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 11900, so we can write it down as 100%=11900.
4. We know, that x% equals 1434.78 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1434.78.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=11900
2) x%=1434.78
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%=11900/1434.78
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1434.78 is what percent of 11900

100%/x%=11900/1434.78
(100/x)*x=(11900/1434.78)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.2939544738566*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.2939544738566) to get x
100/8.2939544738566=x
12.056974789916=x
x=12.056974789916

now we have:
