Find the number if 11% of it is 55.
Let's call the number "x".
To find the number, we need to solve the equation:
11% of x = 55
To do this, we need to convert the percentage to a decimal:
11% = 0.11
Now we can write the equation as:
0.11x = 55
To solve for x, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 0.11:
x = 55 / 0.11
Using division, we find:
x = 500
Therefore, the number is 500.
To find the number, let's set up an equation:
Let x be the number.
Given that 11% of x is 55, we can write:
(11/100) * x = 55
Now, let's solve for x:
Multiply both sides of the equation by 100 to get rid of the denominator:
11 * x = 55 * 100
Simplify:
11x = 5500
Divide both sides of the equation by 11 to isolate x:
x = 5500 / 11
Simplify:
x = 500
Therefore, the number is 500.
