What is 11.75 percent of 35.3 - 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 35.3 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 35.3 is 100%, so we can write it down as 35.3=100%.
4. We know, that x is 11.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=11.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 35.3=100%
2) x=11.75%
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:
35.3/x=100%/11.75%
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 11.75% of 35.3

35.3/x=100/11.75
(35.3/x)*x=(100/11.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
35.3=8.5106382978723*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.5106382978723) to get x
35.3/8.5106382978723=x
4.14775=x
x=4.14775

now we have:
11.75% of 35.3=4.14775
