14.96 is what percent of 43695 - 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 43695 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 43695, so we can write it down as 100%=43695.
4. We know, that x% equals 14.96 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=14.96.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=43695
2) x%=14.96
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%=43695/14.96
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 14.96 is what percent of 43695

100%/x%=43695/14.96
(100/x)*x=(43695/14.96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2920.7887700535*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2920.7887700535) to get x
100/2920.7887700535=x
0.034237326925277=x
x=0.034237326925277

now we have:
14.96 is 0.034237326925277% of 43695
