14.77 is what percent of 41.93 - 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 41.93 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 41.93, so we can write it down as 100%=41.93.
4. We know, that x% equals 14.77 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=14.77.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=41.93
2) x%=14.77
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%=41.93/14.77
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 14.77 is what percent of 41.93

100%/x%=41.93/14.77
(100/x)*x=(41.93/14.77)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.8388625592417*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.8388625592417) to get x
100/2.8388625592417=x
35.225375626043=x
x=35.225375626043

now we have:
14.77 is 35.225375626043% of 41.93
