What is 11.43 percent of 18.6 - 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 18.6 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 18.6 is 100%, so we can write it down as 18.6=100%.
4. We know, that x is 11.43% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=11.43%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 18.6=100%
2) x=11.43%
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:
18.6/x=100%/11.43%
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 11.43% of 18.6

18.6/x=100/11.43
(18.6/x)*x=(100/11.43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
18.6=8.7489063867017*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.7489063867017) to get x
18.6/8.7489063867017=x
2.12598=x
x=2.12598

now we have:
11.43% of 18.6=2.12598
