0.14 is what percent of 6.65 - step by step solution

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

1. We assume, that the number 6.65 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 6.65, so we can write it down as 100%=6.65.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.14 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.14.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6.65
2) x%=0.14
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%=6.65/0.14
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.14 is what percent of 6.65

100%/x%=6.65/0.14
(100/x)*x=(6.65/0.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=47.5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (47.5) to get x
100/47.5=x
2.1052631578947=x
x=2.1052631578947

now we have:
0.14 is 2.1052631578947% of 6.65
