14.85 is what percent of 732.15 - 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 732.15 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 732.15, so we can write it down as 100%=732.15.
4. We know, that x% equals 14.85 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=14.85.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=732.15
2) x%=14.85
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%=732.15/14.85
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 14.85 is what percent of 732.15

100%/x%=732.15/14.85
(100/x)*x=(732.15/14.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=49.30303030303*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (49.30303030303) to get x
100/49.30303030303=x
2.0282728948986=x
x=2.0282728948986

now we have:
14.85 is 2.0282728948986% of 732.15
