8.14 is what percent of 12.71 - 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 12.71 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 12.71, so we can write it down as 100%=12.71.
4. We know, that x% equals 8.14 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8.14.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=12.71
2) x%=8.14
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%=12.71/8.14
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8.14 is what percent of 12.71

100%/x%=12.71/8.14
(100/x)*x=(12.71/8.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5614250614251*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5614250614251) to get x
100/1.5614250614251=x
64.044059795437=x
x=64.044059795437

now we have:
8.14 is 64.044059795437% of 12.71
