What is 11.4 percent of 0.43 - 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 0.43 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 0.43 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.43=100%.
4. We know, that x is 11.4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=11.4%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.43=100%
2) x=11.4%
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:
0.43/x=100%/11.4%
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 11.4% of 0.43

0.43/x=100/11.4
(0.43/x)*x=(100/11.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.43=8.7719298245614*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.7719298245614) to get x
0.43/8.7719298245614=x
0.04902=x
x=0.04902

now we have:
11.4% of 0.43=0.04902
