What is 11.52 percent of 78.068 - 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 78.068 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 78.068 is 100%, so we can write it down as 78.068=100%.
4. We know, that x is 11.52% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=11.52%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 78.068=100%
2) x=11.52%
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:
78.068/x=100%/11.52%
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 11.52% of 78.068

78.068/x=100/11.52
(78.068/x)*x=(100/11.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
78.068=8.6805555555556*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.6805555555556) to get x
78.068/8.6805555555556=x
8.9934336=x
x=8.9934336

now we have:
11.52% of 78.068=8.9934336
