29.7 is what percent of 14.3 - 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 14.3 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 14.3, so we can write it down as 100%=14.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 29.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=29.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14.3
2) x%=29.7
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%=14.3/29.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 29.7 is what percent of 14.3

100%/x%=14.3/29.7
(100/x)*x=(14.3/29.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.48148148148148*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.48148148148148) to get x
100/0.48148148148148=x
207.69230769231=x
x=207.69230769231

now we have:
29.7 is 207.69230769231% of 14.3
