2.14 is what percent of 34.32 - 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 34.32 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 34.32, so we can write it down as 100%=34.32.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.14 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.14.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=34.32
2) x%=2.14
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%=34.32/2.14
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.14 is what percent of 34.32

100%/x%=34.32/2.14
(100/x)*x=(34.32/2.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.03738317757*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.03738317757) to get x
100/16.03738317757=x
6.2354312354312=x
x=6.2354312354312

now we have:
2.14 is 6.2354312354312% of 34.32
