7.14 is what percent of 2 - 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 2 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 2, so we can write it down as 100%=2.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.14 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.14.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2
2) x%=7.14
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%=2/7.14
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.14 is what percent of 2

100%/x%=2/7.14
(100/x)*x=(2/7.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.28011204481793*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.28011204481793) to get x
100/0.28011204481793=x
357=x
x=357

now we have:
7.14 is 357% of 2
