14.94 is what percent of 18.14 - 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 18.14 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 18.14, so we can write it down as 100%=18.14.
4. We know, that x% equals 14.94 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=14.94.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=18.14
2) x%=14.94
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%=18.14/14.94
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 14.94 is what percent of 18.14

100%/x%=18.14/14.94
(100/x)*x=(18.14/14.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2141900937082*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2141900937082) to get x
100/1.2141900937082=x
82.359426681367=x
x=82.359426681367

now we have:
14.94 is 82.359426681367% of 18.14
