What is 0.87 percent of 14000 - 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 14000 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 14000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 14000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.87% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.87%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 14000=100%
2) x=0.87%
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:
14000/x=100%/0.87%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 0.87% of 14000

14000/x=100/0.87
(14000/x)*x=(100/0.87)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
14000=114.94252873563*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (114.94252873563) to get x
14000/114.94252873563=x
121.8=x
x=121.8

now we have:
0.87% of 14000=121.8
