What is 11.22 percent of 74.8 - 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 74.8 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 74.8 is 100%, so we can write it down as 74.8=100%.
4. We know, that x is 11.22% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=11.22%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 74.8=100%
2) x=11.22%
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:
74.8/x=100%/11.22%
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 11.22% of 74.8

74.8/x=100/11.22
(74.8/x)*x=(100/11.22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
74.8=8.9126559714795*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.9126559714795) to get x
74.8/8.9126559714795=x
8.39256=x
x=8.39256

now we have:
11.22% of 74.8=8.39256
