What is 11.12 percent of 165 - 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 165 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 165 is 100%, so we can write it down as 165=100%.
4. We know, that x is 11.12% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=11.12%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 165=100%
2) x=11.12%
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:
165/x=100%/11.12%
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 11.12% of 165

165/x=100/11.12
(165/x)*x=(100/11.12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
165=8.9928057553957*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.9928057553957) to get x
165/8.9928057553957=x
18.348=x
x=18.348

now we have:
11.12% of 165=18.348
