14.28 is what percent of 898.39 - 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 898.39 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 898.39, so we can write it down as 100%=898.39.
4. We know, that x% equals 14.28 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=14.28.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=898.39
2) x%=14.28
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%=898.39/14.28
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 14.28 is what percent of 898.39

100%/x%=898.39/14.28
(100/x)*x=(898.39/14.28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=62.912464985994*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (62.912464985994) to get x
100/62.912464985994=x
1.5895101236657=x
x=1.5895101236657

now we have:
