3.31 is what percent of 14.54 - 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 14.54 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 14.54, so we can write it down as 100%=14.54.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.31 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.31.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14.54
2) x%=3.31
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%=14.54/3.31
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.31 is what percent of 14.54

100%/x%=14.54/3.31
(100/x)*x=(14.54/3.31)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.392749244713*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.392749244713) to get x
100/4.392749244713=x
22.764786795048=x
x=22.764786795048

now we have:
3.31 is 22.764786795048% of 14.54
