11.04 is what percent of 58.99 - 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 58.99 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 58.99, so we can write it down as 100%=58.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 11.04 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=11.04.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=58.99
2) x%=11.04
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%=58.99/11.04
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 11.04 is what percent of 58.99

100%/x%=58.99/11.04
(100/x)*x=(58.99/11.04)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.3432971014493*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.3432971014493) to get x
100/5.3432971014493=x
18.715036446855=x
x=18.715036446855

now we have:
11.04 is 18.715036446855% of 58.99
