What is 11.04 percent of 15.72 - 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 15.72 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 15.72 is 100%, so we can write it down as 15.72=100%.
4. We know, that x is 11.04% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=11.04%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 15.72=100%
2) x=11.04%
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:
15.72/x=100%/11.04%
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 11.04% of 15.72

15.72/x=100/11.04
(15.72/x)*x=(100/11.04)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
15.72=9.0579710144928*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.0579710144928) to get x
15.72/9.0579710144928=x
1.735488=x
x=1.735488

now we have:
11.04% of 15.72=1.735488
