What is 11.55 percent of 127.18 - 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 127.18 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 127.18 is 100%, so we can write it down as 127.18=100%.
4. We know, that x is 11.55% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=11.55%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 127.18=100%
2) x=11.55%
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:
127.18/x=100%/11.55%
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 11.55% of 127.18

127.18/x=100/11.55
(127.18/x)*x=(100/11.55)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
127.18=8.6580086580087*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.6580086580087) to get x
127.18/8.6580086580087=x
14.68929=x
x=14.68929

now we have:
11.55% of 127.18=14.68929
