7.07 is what percent of 11.87 - 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 11.87 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 11.87, so we can write it down as 100%=11.87.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.07 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.07.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=11.87
2) x%=7.07
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%=11.87/7.07
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.07 is what percent of 11.87

100%/x%=11.87/7.07
(100/x)*x=(11.87/7.07)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6789250353607*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6789250353607) to get x
100/1.6789250353607=x
59.561920808762=x
x=59.561920808762

now we have:
7.07 is 59.561920808762% of 11.87
