9.15 is what percent of 14995 - 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 14995 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 14995, so we can write it down as 100%=14995.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14995
2) x%=9.15
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%=14995/9.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.15 is what percent of 14995

100%/x%=14995/9.15
(100/x)*x=(14995/9.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1638.7978142077*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1638.7978142077) to get x
100/1638.7978142077=x
0.061020340113371=x
x=0.061020340113371

now we have:
9.15 is 0.061020340113371% of 14995
