14 is what percent of 8145 - 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 8145 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 8145, so we can write it down as 100%=8145.
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%=8145
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%=8145/14
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 8145

100%/x%=8145/14
(100/x)*x=(8145/14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=581.78571428571*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (581.78571428571) to get x
100/581.78571428571=x
0.17188459177409=x
x=0.17188459177409

now we have:
14 is 0.17188459177409% of 8145
