10.54 is what percent of 14.95 - 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 14.95 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 14.95, so we can write it down as 100%=14.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 10.54 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.54.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14.95
2) x%=10.54
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%=14.95/10.54
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10.54 is what percent of 14.95

100%/x%=14.95/10.54
(100/x)*x=(14.95/10.54)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4184060721063*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4184060721063) to get x
100/1.4184060721063=x
70.501672240803=x
x=70.501672240803

now we have:
10.54 is 70.501672240803% of 14.95
