What is 11.43 percent of 73.57 - 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 73.57 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 73.57 is 100%, so we can write it down as 73.57=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) 73.57=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:
73.57/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 73.57

73.57/x=100/11.43
(73.57/x)*x=(100/11.43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
73.57=8.7489063867017*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.7489063867017) to get x
73.57/8.7489063867017=x
8.409051=x
x=8.409051

now we have:
11.43% of 73.57=8.409051
