279.22 is what percent of 11445 - 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 11445 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 11445, so we can write it down as 100%=11445.
4. We know, that x% equals 279.22 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=279.22.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=11445
2) x%=279.22
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%=11445/279.22
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 279.22 is what percent of 11445

100%/x%=11445/279.22
(100/x)*x=(11445/279.22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=40.989184155863*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (40.989184155863) to get x
100/40.989184155863=x
2.4396679772827=x
x=2.4396679772827

now we have:
