14.25 is what percent of 69.45 - 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 69.45 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 69.45, so we can write it down as 100%=69.45.
4. We know, that x% equals 14.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=14.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=69.45
2) x%=14.25
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%=69.45/14.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 14.25 is what percent of 69.45

100%/x%=69.45/14.25
(100/x)*x=(69.45/14.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.8736842105263*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.8736842105263) to get x
100/4.8736842105263=x
20.518358531317=x
x=20.518358531317

now we have:
14.25 is 20.518358531317% of 69.45
