74.58 is what percent of 1111 - 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 1111 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 1111, so we can write it down as 100%=1111.
4. We know, that x% equals 74.58 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=74.58.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1111
2) x%=74.58
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%=1111/74.58
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 74.58 is what percent of 1111

100%/x%=1111/74.58
(100/x)*x=(1111/74.58)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.896755162242*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.896755162242) to get x
100/14.896755162242=x
6.7128712871287=x
x=6.7128712871287

now we have:
74.58 is 6.7128712871287% of 1111
