21 is what percent of 1.14 - 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 1.14 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 1.14, so we can write it down as 100%=1.14.
4. We know, that x% equals 21 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=21.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.14
2) x%=21
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%=1.14/21
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 21 is what percent of 1.14

100%/x%=1.14/21
(100/x)*x=(1.14/21)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.054285714285714*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.054285714285714) to get x
100/0.054285714285714=x
1842.1052631579=x
x=1842.1052631579

now we have:
21 is 1842.1052631579% of 1.14
