11.26 is what percent of 75.08 - 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 75.08 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 75.08, so we can write it down as 100%=75.08.
4. We know, that x% equals 11.26 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=11.26.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=75.08
2) x%=11.26
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%=75.08/11.26
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 11.26 is what percent of 75.08

100%/x%=75.08/11.26
(100/x)*x=(75.08/11.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.6678507992895*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.6678507992895) to get x
100/6.6678507992895=x
14.997336174747=x
x=14.997336174747

now we have:
11.26 is 14.997336174747% of 75.08
