11 is what percent of 5.47 - 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 5.47 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 100% equals 5.47, so we can write it down as 100%=5.47.
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%=5.47
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%=5.47/11
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 5.47

100%/x%=5.47/11
(100/x)*x=(5.47/11)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.49727272727273*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.49727272727273) to get x
100/0.49727272727273=x
201.09689213894=x
x=201.09689213894

now we have:
11 is 201.09689213894% of 5.47
