Explanation:

1. We assume, that the number 330 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 330 is 100%, so we can write it down as 330=100%.

4. We know, that x is 11.4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=11.4%.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 330=100%

2) x=11.4%

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:

330/x=100%/11.4%

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 11.4% of 330

330/x=100/11.4

(330/x)*x=(100/11.4)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

330=8.77192982456*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.77192982456) to get x

330/8.77192982456=x

37.62=x

x=37.62

11.4% of 330=37.62
