494.68 is what percent of 14349 - 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 14349 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 14349, so we can write it down as 100%=14349.
4. We know, that x% equals 494.68 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=494.68.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14349
2) x%=494.68
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%=14349/494.68
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 494.68 is what percent of 14349

100%/x%=14349/494.68
(100/x)*x=(14349/494.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=29.006630549042*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (29.006630549042) to get x
100/29.006630549042=x
3.4474876298=x
x=3.4474876298

now we have:
