14.7 is what percent of 13.2 - 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 13.2 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 13.2, so we can write it down as 100%=13.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 14.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=14.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=13.2
2) x%=14.7
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%=13.2/14.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 14.7 is what percent of 13.2

100%/x%=13.2/14.7
(100/x)*x=(13.2/14.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.89795918367347*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.89795918367347) to get x
100/0.89795918367347=x
111.36363636364=x
x=111.36363636364

now we have:
14.7 is 111.36363636364% of 13.2
