What is 10.889 percent of 119 - 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 119 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 119 is 100%, so we can write it down as 119=100%.
4. We know, that x is 10.889% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=10.889%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 119=100%
2) x=10.889%
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:
119/x=100%/10.889%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 10.889% of 119

119/x=100/10.889
(119/x)*x=(100/10.889)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
119=9.1835797593902*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.1835797593902) to get x
119/9.1835797593902=x
12.95791=x
x=12.95791

now we have:
10.889% of 119=12.95791
