0.71 is what percent of 0.14 - 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 0.14 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 0.14, so we can write it down as 100%=0.14.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.71 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.71.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.14
2) x%=0.71
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%=0.14/0.71
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.71 is what percent of 0.14

100%/x%=0.14/0.71
(100/x)*x=(0.14/0.71)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.19718309859155*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.19718309859155) to get x
100/0.19718309859155=x
507.14285714286=x
x=507.14285714286

now we have:
0.71 is 507.14285714286% of 0.14
