10.16 is what percent of 14.11 - 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 14.11 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 14.11, so we can write it down as 100%=14.11.
4. We know, that x% equals 10.16 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.16.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14.11
2) x%=10.16
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%=14.11/10.16
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10.16 is what percent of 14.11

100%/x%=14.11/10.16
(100/x)*x=(14.11/10.16)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3887795275591*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3887795275591) to get x
100/1.3887795275591=x
72.005669737775=x
x=72.005669737775

now we have:
10.16 is 72.005669737775% of 14.11
