14.46 is what percent of 628.77 - 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 628.77 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 628.77, so we can write it down as 100%=628.77.
4. We know, that x% equals 14.46 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=14.46.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=628.77
2) x%=14.46
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%=628.77/14.46
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 14.46 is what percent of 628.77

100%/x%=628.77/14.46
(100/x)*x=(628.77/14.46)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=43.483402489627*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (43.483402489627) to get x
100/43.483402489627=x
2.2997280404599=x
x=2.2997280404599

now we have:
