What is 11.88 percent of 16.22 - 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 16.22 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 16.22 is 100%, so we can write it down as 16.22=100%.
4. We know, that x is 11.88% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=11.88%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 16.22=100%
2) x=11.88%
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:
16.22/x=100%/11.88%
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 11.88% of 16.22

16.22/x=100/11.88
(16.22/x)*x=(100/11.88)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
16.22=8.4175084175084*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.4175084175084) to get x
16.22/8.4175084175084=x
1.926936=x
x=1.926936

now we have:
11.88% of 16.22=1.926936
