What is 11.18 percent of 28.08 - 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 28.08 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 28.08 is 100%, so we can write it down as 28.08=100%.
4. We know, that x is 11.18% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=11.18%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 28.08=100%
2) x=11.18%
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:
28.08/x=100%/11.18%
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 11.18% of 28.08

28.08/x=100/11.18
(28.08/x)*x=(100/11.18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
28.08=8.9445438282648*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.9445438282648) to get x
28.08/8.9445438282648=x
3.139344=x
x=3.139344

now we have:
11.18% of 28.08=3.139344
