14.95 is what percent of 88.77 - 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 88.77 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 88.77, so we can write it down as 100%=88.77.
4. We know, that x% equals 14.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=14.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=88.77
2) x%=14.95
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%=88.77/14.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 14.95 is what percent of 88.77

100%/x%=88.77/14.95
(100/x)*x=(88.77/14.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.9377926421405*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.9377926421405) to get x
100/5.9377926421405=x
16.841275205587=x
x=16.841275205587

now we have:
14.95 is 16.841275205587% of 88.77
