11 is what percent of 36.25 - 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 36.25 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 100% equals 36.25, so we can write it down as 100%=36.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 11 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=11.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=36.25
2) x%=11
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:
100%/x%=36.25/11
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 11 is what percent of 36.25

100%/x%=36.25/11
(100/x)*x=(36.25/11)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.2954545454545*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.2954545454545) to get x
100/3.2954545454545=x
30.344827586207=x
x=30.344827586207

now we have:
11 is 30.344827586207% of 36.25
