10.05 is what percent of 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 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 14, so we can write it down as 100%=14.
4. We know, that x% equals 10.05 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.05.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14
2) x%=10.05
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%=14/10.05
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10.05 is what percent of 14

100%/x%=14/10.05
(100/x)*x=(14/10.05)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3930348258706*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3930348258706) to get x
100/1.3930348258706=x
71.785714285714=x
x=71.785714285714

now we have:
10.05 is 71.785714285714% of 14
