To find this you would work backwards. To find 11 percent of a number you would multiply the number, N, by 0.11 (11% as a decimal).

500 = N x 0.11

Isolate the variable N by dividing both sides by 0.11

500 / 0.11 = (N x 0.11) / 0.11

500 / 0.11 = N Divide

N = 500 / 0.11

N = 4545.454545 So to check

= 4545.454545 * 0.11

= 500 :)
