501.75 is what percent of 14450 - 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 14450 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 14450, so we can write it down as 100%=14450.
4. We know, that x% equals 501.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=501.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14450
2) x%=501.75
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%=14450/501.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 501.75 is what percent of 14450

100%/x%=14450/501.75
(100/x)*x=(14450/501.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=28.799202790234*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (28.799202790234) to get x
100/28.799202790234=x
3.4723183391003=x
x=3.4723183391003

now we have:
501.75 is 3.4723183391003% of 14450
