14.97 is what percent of 359.06 - 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 359.06 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 359.06, so we can write it down as 100%=359.06.
4. We know, that x% equals 14.97 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=14.97.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=359.06
2) x%=14.97
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%=359.06/14.97
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 14.97 is what percent of 359.06

100%/x%=359.06/14.97
(100/x)*x=(359.06/14.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=23.985303941216*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23.985303941216) to get x
100/23.985303941216=x
4.1692196290314=x
x=4.1692196290314

now we have:
14.97 is 4.1692196290314% of 359.06
