96.15 is what percent of 11250 - 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 11250 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 11250, so we can write it down as 100%=11250.
4. We know, that x% equals 96.15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=96.15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=11250
2) x%=96.15
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%=11250/96.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 96.15 is what percent of 11250

100%/x%=11250/96.15
(100/x)*x=(11250/96.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=117.00468018721*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (117.00468018721) to get x
100/117.00468018721=x
0.85466666666667=x
x=0.85466666666667

now we have:
96.15 is 0.85466666666667% of 11250
