7.49 is what percent of 11.39 - 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 11.39 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 11.39, so we can write it down as 100%=11.39.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.49 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.49.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=11.39
2) x%=7.49
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%=11.39/7.49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.49 is what percent of 11.39

100%/x%=11.39/7.49
(100/x)*x=(11.39/7.49)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.520694259012*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.520694259012) to get x
100/1.520694259012=x
65.7594381036=x
x=65.7594381036

now we have:
7.49 is 65.7594381036% of 11.39
