14.63 is what percent of 30 - 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 30 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 30, so we can write it down as 100%=30.
4. We know, that x% equals 14.63 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=14.63.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=30
2) x%=14.63
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%=30/14.63
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 14.63 is what percent of 30

100%/x%=30/14.63
(100/x)*x=(30/14.63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.0505809979494*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0505809979494) to get x
100/2.0505809979494=x
48.766666666667=x
x=48.766666666667

now we have:
14.63 is 48.766666666667% of 30
