Question

Eleven is 20% of ____

Answer 1

Convert to a decimal which would be 0.55 (11/20).

Then you want to multiply 0.55 by 100 (which is a whole number, all % is going to come from 100) to convert to a full % -> 0.55*100

Then you will simplify 0.55*100

You answer will be 55%.

Answer 2

Hey!

11 = 20% of 55

You can make a proportion

20% = 20/100

$\frac{20}{100} = \frac{11}{y}$

Cross multiply

$100 \times 11 = 1,100$

Divide by 20

$1,100 \div 20 = 55$

$\framebox{Answer = 55}$
