14.19 is what percent of 488 - 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 488 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 488, so we can write it down as 100%=488.
4. We know, that x% equals 14.19 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=14.19.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=488
2) x%=14.19
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%=488/14.19
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 14.19 is what percent of 488

100%/x%=488/14.19
(100/x)*x=(488/14.19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=34.390415785765*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (34.390415785765) to get x
100/34.390415785765=x
2.9077868852459=x
x=2.9077868852459

now we have:
14.19 is 2.9077868852459% of 488
