11.16 is what percent of 17000 - 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 17000 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 17000, so we can write it down as 100%=17000.
4. We know, that x% equals 11.16 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=11.16.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=17000
2) x%=11.16
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%=17000/11.16
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 11.16 is what percent of 17000

100%/x%=17000/11.16
(100/x)*x=(17000/11.16)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1523.2974910394*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1523.2974910394) to get x
100/1523.2974910394=x
0.065647058823529=x
x=0.065647058823529

now we have:
11.16 is 0.065647058823529% of 17000
