10.93 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 10.93 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.93.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14.99
2) x%=10.93
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%=14.99/10.93
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10.93 is what percent of 14.99

100%/x%=14.99/10.93
(100/x)*x=(14.99/10.93)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3714547118024*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3714547118024) to get x
100/1.3714547118024=x
72.915276851234=x
x=72.915276851234

now we have:
10.93 is 72.915276851234% of 14.99
