28.13 is what percent of 11250 - 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 11250 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 11250, so we can write it down as 100%=11250.
4. We know, that x% equals 28.13 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=28.13.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=11250
2) x%=28.13
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%=11250/28.13
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 28.13 is what percent of 11250

100%/x%=11250/28.13
(100/x)*x=(11250/28.13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=399.92890152862*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (399.92890152862) to get x
100/399.92890152862=x
0.25004444444444=x
x=0.25004444444444

now we have:
28.13 is 0.25004444444444% of 11250
