Question

11.5 is what percent of 8? Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:

• 143.8.

Step-by-step explanation:

11.5:8*100 =

(11.5*100):8 =

1150:8 = 143.75

Now we have: 11.5 is what percent of 8 = 143.75

Question: 11.5 is what percent of 8?

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 8 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with $x$.

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100\%=8$.

Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=11.5$.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

$100\%=8(1)$.

$x\%=11.5(2)$.

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS

(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

$\frac{100\%}{x\%}=\frac{8}{11.5}$

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

$\frac{x\%}{100\%}=\frac{11.5}{8}$

x=143.75%

Therefore, 11.5 is 143.75% of 8.
