5.48 is what percent of 11.76 - 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 11.76 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 11.76, so we can write it down as 100%=11.76.
4. We know, that x% equals 5.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=11.76
2) x%=5.48
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%=11.76/5.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5.48 is what percent of 11.76

100%/x%=11.76/5.48
(100/x)*x=(11.76/5.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.1459854014599*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1459854014599) to get x
100/2.1459854014599=x
46.598639455782=x
x=46.598639455782

now we have:
5.48 is 46.598639455782% of 11.76
