14.02 is what percent of 162.98 - 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 162.98 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 162.98, so we can write it down as 100%=162.98.
4. We know, that x% equals 14.02 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=14.02.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=162.98
2) x%=14.02
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%=162.98/14.02
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 14.02 is what percent of 162.98

100%/x%=162.98/14.02
(100/x)*x=(162.98/14.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.62482168331*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.62482168331) to get x
100/11.62482168331=x
8.6022824886489=x
x=8.6022824886489

now we have:
14.02 is 8.6022824886489% of 162.98
