64 is what percent of 14834.58 - 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 14834.58 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 14834.58, so we can write it down as 100%=14834.58.
4. We know, that x% equals 64 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=64.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14834.58
2) x%=64
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%=14834.58/64
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 64 is what percent of 14834.58

100%/x%=14834.58/64
(100/x)*x=(14834.58/64)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=231.7903125*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (231.7903125) to get x
100/231.7903125=x
0.43142441511657=x
x=0.43142441511657

now we have:
