14.06 is what percent of 988 - 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 988 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 988, so we can write it down as 100%=988.
4. We know, that x% equals 14.06 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=14.06.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=988
2) x%=14.06
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%=988/14.06
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 14.06 is what percent of 988

100%/x%=988/14.06
(100/x)*x=(988/14.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=70.27027027027*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (70.27027027027) to get x
100/70.27027027027=x
1.4230769230769=x
x=1.4230769230769

now we have:
14.06 is 1.4230769230769% of 988
