What is 11.74 percent of 10504.31 - 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 10504.31 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 10504.31 is 100%, so we can write it down as 10504.31=100%.
4. We know, that x is 11.74% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=11.74%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 10504.31=100%
2) x=11.74%
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:
10504.31/x=100%/11.74%
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 11.74% of 10504.31

10504.31/x=100/11.74
(10504.31/x)*x=(100/11.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
10504.31=8.5178875638842*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.5178875638842) to get x
10504.31/8.5178875638842=x
1233.205994=x
x=1233.205994

now we have:
11.74% of 10504.31=1233.205994
