14.01 is what percent of 59.08 - 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 59.08 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 59.08, so we can write it down as 100%=59.08.
4. We know, that x% equals 14.01 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=14.01.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=59.08
2) x%=14.01
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%=59.08/14.01
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 14.01 is what percent of 59.08

100%/x%=59.08/14.01
(100/x)*x=(59.08/14.01)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.2169878658101*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.2169878658101) to get x
100/4.2169878658101=x
23.713608666215=x
x=23.713608666215

now we have:
14.01 is 23.713608666215% of 59.08
