What is 33.125 percent of 11.2 - 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 11.2 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 11.2 is 100%, so we can write it down as 11.2=100%.
4. We know, that x is 33.125% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=33.125%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 11.2=100%
2) x=33.125%
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:
11.2/x=100%/33.125%
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 33.125% of 11.2

11.2/x=100/33.125
(11.2/x)*x=(100/33.125)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
11.2=3.0188679245283*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.0188679245283) to get x
11.2/3.0188679245283=x
3.71=x
x=3.71

now we have:
33.125% of 11.2=3.71
