What is 35.84 percent of 11.7 - 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 11.7 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 11.7 is 100%, so we can write it down as 11.7=100%.
4. We know, that x is 35.84% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=35.84%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 11.7=100%
2) x=35.84%
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:
11.7/x=100%/35.84%
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 35.84% of 11.7

11.7/x=100/35.84
(11.7/x)*x=(100/35.84)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
11.7=2.7901785714286*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.7901785714286) to get x
11.7/2.7901785714286=x
4.19328=x
x=4.19328

now we have:
35.84% of 11.7=4.19328
