2.91 is what percent of 11.33 - 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 11.33 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 11.33, so we can write it down as 100%=11.33.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.91 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.91.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=11.33
2) x%=2.91
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%=11.33/2.91
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.91 is what percent of 11.33

100%/x%=11.33/2.91
(100/x)*x=(11.33/2.91)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.893470790378*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.893470790378) to get x
100/3.893470790378=x
25.684024713151=x
x=25.684024713151

now we have:
2.91 is 25.684024713151% of 11.33
