14 is what percent of 4293 - 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 4293 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 4293, so we can write it down as 100%=4293.
4. We know, that x% equals 14 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=14.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4293
2) x%=14
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%=4293/14
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 14 is what percent of 4293

100%/x%=4293/14
(100/x)*x=(4293/14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=306.64285714286*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (306.64285714286) to get x
100/306.64285714286=x
0.32611227579781=x
x=0.32611227579781

now we have:
14 is 0.32611227579781% of 4293
