14500 is what percent of 7 - 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 7 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 7, so we can write it down as 100%=7.
4. We know, that x% equals 14500 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=14500.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7
2) x%=14500
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%=7/14500
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 14500 is what percent of 7

100%/x%=7/14500
(100/x)*x=(7/14500)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.00048275862068966*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.00048275862068966) to get x
100/0.00048275862068966=x
207142.85714286=x
x=207142.85714286

now we have:
14500 is 207142.85714286% of 7
