107.1 is what percent of 1400 - 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 1400 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 1400, so we can write it down as 100%=1400.
4. We know, that x% equals 107.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=107.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1400
2) x%=107.1
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%=1400/107.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 107.1 is what percent of 1400

100%/x%=1400/107.1
(100/x)*x=(1400/107.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.071895424837*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.071895424837) to get x
100/13.071895424837=x
7.65=x
x=7.65

now we have:
107.1 is 7.65% of 1400
