95 is what percent of 40014 - 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 40014 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 40014, so we can write it down as 100%=40014.
4. We know, that x% equals 95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=40014
2) x%=95
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%=40014/95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 95 is what percent of 40014

100%/x%=40014/95
(100/x)*x=(40014/95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=421.2*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (421.2) to get x
100/421.2=x
0.23741690408357=x
x=0.23741690408357

now we have:
95 is 0.23741690408357% of 40014
