What is 95 percent of 11748 - 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 11748 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 11748 is 100%, so we can write it down as 11748=100%.
4. We know, that x is 95% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=95%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 11748=100%
2) x=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:
11748/x=100%/95%
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 95% of 11748

11748/x=100/95
(11748/x)*x=(100/95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
11748=1.05263157895*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.05263157895) to get x
11748/1.05263157895=x
11160.6=x
x=11160.6

now we have:
95% of 11748=11160.6
