14.65 is what percent of 100.21 - 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 100.21 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 100.21, so we can write it down as 100%=100.21.
4. We know, that x% equals 14.65 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=14.65.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=100.21
2) x%=14.65
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%=100.21/14.65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 14.65 is what percent of 100.21

100%/x%=100.21/14.65
(100/x)*x=(100.21/14.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.8402730375427*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.8402730375427) to get x
100/6.8402730375427=x
14.619299471111=x
x=14.619299471111

now we have:
14.65 is 14.619299471111% of 100.21
