What is 1.489 percent of 11 - 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 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 11 is 100%, so we can write it down as 11=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.489% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.489%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 11=100%
2) x=1.489%
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:
11/x=100%/1.489%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 1.489% of 11

11/x=100/1.489
(11/x)*x=(100/1.489)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
11=67.159167226326*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (67.159167226326) to get x
11/67.159167226326=x
0.16379=x
x=0.16379

now we have:
1.489% of 11=0.16379
