What is 11.11 percent of 37.8 - 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 37.8 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 37.8 is 100%, so we can write it down as 37.8=100%.
4. We know, that x is 11.11% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=11.11%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 37.8=100%
2) x=11.11%
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:
37.8/x=100%/11.11%
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 11.11% of 37.8

37.8/x=100/11.11
(37.8/x)*x=(100/11.11)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
37.8=9.000900090009*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.000900090009) to get x
37.8/9.000900090009=x
4.19958=x
x=4.19958

now we have:
11.11% of 37.8=4.19958
