6.95 is what percent of 11.95 - 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 11.95 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 11.95, so we can write it down as 100%=11.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=11.95
2) x%=6.95
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%=11.95/6.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.95 is what percent of 11.95

100%/x%=11.95/6.95
(100/x)*x=(11.95/6.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7194244604317*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7194244604317) to get x
100/1.7194244604317=x
58.1589958159=x
x=58.1589958159

now we have:
6.95 is 58.1589958159% of 11.95
