2.31 is what percent of 14.16 - 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 14.16 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 14.16, so we can write it down as 100%=14.16.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.31 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.31.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14.16
2) x%=2.31
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%=14.16/2.31
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.31 is what percent of 14.16

100%/x%=14.16/2.31
(100/x)*x=(14.16/2.31)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.1298701298701*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.1298701298701) to get x
100/6.1298701298701=x
16.313559322034=x
x=16.313559322034

now we have:
2.31 is 16.313559322034% of 14.16
