What is 21.56 percent of 11.3 - 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 11.3 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 11.3 is 100%, so we can write it down as 11.3=100%.
4. We know, that x is 21.56% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=21.56%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 11.3=100%
2) x=21.56%
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:
11.3/x=100%/21.56%
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 21.56% of 11.3

11.3/x=100/21.56
(11.3/x)*x=(100/21.56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
11.3=4.6382189239332*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.6382189239332) to get x
11.3/4.6382189239332=x
2.43628=x
x=2.43628

now we have:
21.56% of 11.3=2.43628
