What is 4.91 percent of 11.434 - 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 11.434 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 11.434 is 100%, so we can write it down as 11.434=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.91% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.91%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 11.434=100%
2) x=4.91%
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:
11.434/x=100%/4.91%
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 4.91% of 11.434

11.434/x=100/4.91
(11.434/x)*x=(100/4.91)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
11.434=20.366598778004*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.366598778004) to get x
11.434/20.366598778004=x
0.5614094=x
x=0.5614094

now we have:
4.91% of 11.434=0.5614094
