What is 55.13 percent of 11.89 - 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 11.89 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 11.89 is 100%, so we can write it down as 11.89=100%.
4. We know, that x is 55.13% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=55.13%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 11.89=100%
2) x=55.13%
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:
11.89/x=100%/55.13%
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 55.13% of 11.89

11.89/x=100/55.13
(11.89/x)*x=(100/55.13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
11.89=1.8138944313441*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8138944313441) to get x
11.89/1.8138944313441=x
6.554957=x
x=6.554957

now we have:
55.13% of 11.89=6.554957
