14.99 is what percent of 22.49 - 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 22.49 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 22.49, so we can write it down as 100%=22.49.
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%=22.49
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%=22.49/14.99
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 22.49

100%/x%=22.49/14.99
(100/x)*x=(22.49/14.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5003335557038*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5003335557038) to get x
100/1.5003335557038=x
66.651845264562=x
x=66.651845264562

now we have:
14.99 is 66.651845264562% of 22.49
