27 is what percent of 14800 - 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 14800 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 14800, so we can write it down as 100%=14800.
4. We know, that x% equals 27 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=27.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14800
2) x%=27
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%=14800/27
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 27 is what percent of 14800

100%/x%=14800/27
(100/x)*x=(14800/27)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=548.14814814815*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (548.14814814815) to get x
100/548.14814814815=x
0.18243243243243=x
x=0.18243243243243

now we have:
27 is 0.18243243243243% of 14800
