What is 15.11 percent of 760 - 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 760 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 760 is 100%, so we can write it down as 760=100%.
4. We know, that x is 15.11% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=15.11%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 760=100%
2) x=15.11%
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:
760/x=100%/15.11%
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 15.11% of 760

760/x=100/15.11
(760/x)*x=(100/15.11)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
760=6.6181336863005*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.6181336863005) to get x
760/6.6181336863005=x
114.836=x
x=114.836

now we have:
15.11% of 760=114.836
