14.99 is what percent of 35.64 - 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 35.64 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 35.64, so we can write it down as 100%=35.64.
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%=35.64
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%=35.64/14.99
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 35.64

100%/x%=35.64/14.99
(100/x)*x=(35.64/14.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.3775850567045*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3775850567045) to get x
100/2.3775850567045=x
42.05948372615=x
x=42.05948372615

now we have:
14.99 is 42.05948372615% of 35.64
