2.97 is what percent of 14.003 - 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 14.003 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 14.003, so we can write it down as 100%=14.003.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.97 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.97.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14.003
2) x%=2.97
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%=14.003/2.97
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.97 is what percent of 14.003

100%/x%=14.003/2.97
(100/x)*x=(14.003/2.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.7148148148148*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.7148148148148) to get x
100/4.7148148148148=x
21.209740769835=x
x=21.209740769835

now we have:
2.97 is 21.209740769835% of 14.003
