8.04 is what percent of 11.54 - 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 11.54 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 11.54, so we can write it down as 100%=11.54.
4. We know, that x% equals 8.04 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8.04.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=11.54
2) x%=8.04
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%=11.54/8.04
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8.04 is what percent of 11.54

100%/x%=11.54/8.04
(100/x)*x=(11.54/8.04)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4353233830846*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4353233830846) to get x
100/1.4353233830846=x
69.670710571924=x
x=69.670710571924

now we have:
8.04 is 69.670710571924% of 11.54
