14.04 is what percent of 708.11 - 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 708.11 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 708.11, so we can write it down as 100%=708.11.
4. We know, that x% equals 14.04 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=14.04.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=708.11
2) x%=14.04
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%=708.11/14.04
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 14.04 is what percent of 708.11

100%/x%=708.11/14.04
(100/x)*x=(708.11/14.04)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=50.435185185185*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (50.435185185185) to get x
100/50.435185185185=x
1.9827427941986=x
x=1.9827427941986

now we have:
14.04 is 1.9827427941986% of 708.11
