What is 11.15 percent of 36000 - 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 36000 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 36000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 36000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 11.15% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=11.15%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 36000=100%
2) x=11.15%
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:
36000/x=100%/11.15%
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 11.15% of 36000

36000/x=100/11.15
(36000/x)*x=(100/11.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
36000=8.9686098654709*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.9686098654709) to get x
36000/8.9686098654709=x
4014=x
x=4014

now we have:
11.15% of 36000=4014
