357.44 is what percent of 2014 - 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 2014 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 2014, so we can write it down as 100%=2014.
4. We know, that x% equals 357.44 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=357.44.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2014
2) x%=357.44
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%=2014/357.44
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 357.44 is what percent of 2014

100%/x%=2014/357.44
(100/x)*x=(2014/357.44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.6345120859445*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.6345120859445) to get x
100/5.6345120859445=x
17.747765640516=x
x=17.747765640516

now we have:
357.44 is 17.747765640516% of 2014
