14.54 is what percent of 146.21 - 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 146.21 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 146.21, so we can write it down as 100%=146.21.
4. We know, that x% equals 14.54 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=14.54.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=146.21
2) x%=14.54
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%=146.21/14.54
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 14.54 is what percent of 146.21

100%/x%=146.21/14.54
(100/x)*x=(146.21/14.54)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.055708390646*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.055708390646) to get x
100/10.055708390646=x
9.9446002325422=x
x=9.9446002325422

now we have:
14.54 is 9.9446002325422% of 146.21
