14.11 is what percent of 162.31 - 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 162.31 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 162.31, so we can write it down as 100%=162.31.
4. We know, that x% equals 14.11 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=14.11.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=162.31
2) x%=14.11
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%=162.31/14.11
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 14.11 is what percent of 162.31

100%/x%=162.31/14.11
(100/x)*x=(162.31/14.11)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.503189227498*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.503189227498) to get x
100/11.503189227498=x
8.6932413283223=x
x=8.6932413283223

now we have:
14.11 is 8.6932413283223% of 162.31
