5.73 is what percent of 11 - 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 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, so we can write it down as 100%=11.
4. We know, that x% equals 5.73 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5.73.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=11
2) x%=5.73
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%=11/5.73
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5.73 is what percent of 11

100%/x%=11/5.73
(100/x)*x=(11/5.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.9197207678883*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9197207678883) to get x
100/1.9197207678883=x
52.090909090909=x
x=52.090909090909

now we have:
5.73 is 52.090909090909% of 11
