9.91 is what percent of 14.25 - 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 14.25 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 14.25, so we can write it down as 100%=14.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.91 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.91.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14.25
2) x%=9.91
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%=14.25/9.91
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.91 is what percent of 14.25

100%/x%=14.25/9.91
(100/x)*x=(14.25/9.91)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4379414732593*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4379414732593) to get x
100/1.4379414732593=x
69.543859649123=x
x=69.543859649123

now we have:
9.91 is 69.543859649123% of 14.25
