1.03 is what percent of 14.99 - 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 14.99 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 14.99, so we can write it down as 100%=14.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.03 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.03.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14.99
2) x%=1.03
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%=14.99/1.03
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.03 is what percent of 14.99

100%/x%=14.99/1.03
(100/x)*x=(14.99/1.03)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.553398058252*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.553398058252) to get x
100/14.553398058252=x
6.8712474983322=x
x=6.8712474983322

now we have:
1.03 is 6.8712474983322% of 14.99
