6.97 is what percent of 11.99 - 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 11.99 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 11.99, so we can write it down as 100%=11.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.97 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.97.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=11.99
2) x%=6.97
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%=11.99/6.97
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.97 is what percent of 11.99

100%/x%=11.99/6.97
(100/x)*x=(11.99/6.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7202295552367*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7202295552367) to get x
100/1.7202295552367=x
58.1317764804=x
x=58.1317764804

now we have:
6.97 is 58.1317764804% of 11.99
