To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1). We assume, that the number 300 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 100% equals 300, so we can write it down as 100% = 300.

4). We know, that x% equals 111 of the output value, so we can write it down as x% = 111.

5). Now we have two simple equations:

1). 100% = 300

2). x% = 111

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:

100%/x% = 300/111

6). Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7). Solution for 111 is what percent of 300

100%/x% = 300/111

(100/x)*x = (300/111) * x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

100 = 2.7027027027 * x - we divide both sides of the equation by

(2.7027027027) to get x

100/2.7027027027 = x

37 = x

x = 37

Therefore: 100%/x% = 300/111

x%/100% = 111/300

==> x = 37%

Now we have: Answer: 111 is 37% of 300 (Decimal: 0.37)

Hope that helps!!!! : )

divide 111 with 300

111/300 = 0.37

Change the decimal to a percentage. Move the decimal point to the right two place values: 0.37 = 37%

Reason:

0.37 = 37/100 = 37%

37% is your answer
