37.08 is what percent of 14.13 - 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 14.13 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 14.13, so we can write it down as 100%=14.13.
4. We know, that x% equals 37.08 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=37.08.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14.13
2) x%=37.08
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%=14.13/37.08
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 37.08 is what percent of 14.13

100%/x%=14.13/37.08
(100/x)*x=(14.13/37.08)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.38106796116505*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.38106796116505) to get x
100/0.38106796116505=x
262.42038216561=x
x=262.42038216561

now we have:
37.08 is 262.42038216561% of 14.13
