7.01 is what percent of 14.99 - 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 14.99 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 14.99, so we can write it down as 100%=14.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.01 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.01.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14.99
2) x%=7.01
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%=14.99/7.01
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.01 is what percent of 14.99

100%/x%=14.99/7.01
(100/x)*x=(14.99/7.01)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.1383737517832*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1383737517832) to get x
100/2.1383737517832=x
46.764509673115=x
x=46.764509673115

now we have:
7.01 is 46.764509673115% of 14.99
