98 is what percent of 1443 - 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 1443 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 1443, so we can write it down as 100%=1443.
4. We know, that x% equals 98 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=98.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1443
2) x%=98
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%=1443/98
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 98 is what percent of 1443

100%/x%=1443/98
(100/x)*x=(1443/98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.724489795918*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.724489795918) to get x
100/14.724489795918=x
6.7914067914068=x
x=6.7914067914068

now we have:
98 is 6.7914067914068% of 1443
