3.23 is what percent of 14.5 - 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 14.5 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 14.5, so we can write it down as 100%=14.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.23 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.23.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14.5
2) x%=3.23
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%=14.5/3.23
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.23 is what percent of 14.5

100%/x%=14.5/3.23
(100/x)*x=(14.5/3.23)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.4891640866873*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.4891640866873) to get x
100/4.4891640866873=x
22.275862068966=x
x=22.275862068966

now we have:
3.23 is 22.275862068966% of 14.5
