What is 8.66 percent of 11.47 - 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 11.47 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 11.47 is 100%, so we can write it down as 11.47=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.66% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.66%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 11.47=100%
2) x=8.66%
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:
11.47/x=100%/8.66%
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 8.66% of 11.47

11.47/x=100/8.66
(11.47/x)*x=(100/8.66)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
11.47=11.547344110855*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.547344110855) to get x
11.47/11.547344110855=x
0.993302=x
x=0.993302

now we have:
8.66% of 11.47=0.993302
