What is 11.36 percent of 141.82 - 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 141.82 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 141.82 is 100%, so we can write it down as 141.82=100%.
4. We know, that x is 11.36% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=11.36%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 141.82=100%
2) x=11.36%
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:
141.82/x=100%/11.36%
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 11.36% of 141.82

141.82/x=100/11.36
(141.82/x)*x=(100/11.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
141.82=8.8028169014085*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.8028169014085) to get x
141.82/8.8028169014085=x
16.110752=x
x=16.110752

now we have:
11.36% of 141.82=16.110752
