14.99 is what percent of 129.95 - 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 129.95 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 129.95, so we can write it down as 100%=129.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 14.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=14.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=129.95
2) x%=14.99
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%=129.95/14.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 14.99 is what percent of 129.95

100%/x%=129.95/14.99
(100/x)*x=(129.95/14.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.6691127418279*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.6691127418279) to get x
100/8.6691127418279=x
11.535205848403=x
x=11.535205848403

now we have:
14.99 is 11.535205848403% of 129.95
