326.5 is what percent of 14.4 - 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 14.4 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 14.4, so we can write it down as 100%=14.4.
4. We know, that x% equals 326.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=326.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14.4
2) x%=326.5
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%=14.4/326.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 326.5 is what percent of 14.4

100%/x%=14.4/326.5
(100/x)*x=(14.4/326.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.044104134762634*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.044104134762634) to get x
100/0.044104134762634=x
2267.3611111111=x
x=2267.3611111111

now we have:
326.5 is 2267.3611111111% of 14.4
