What is 1.32 percent of 14.96 - 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 14.96 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 14.96 is 100%, so we can write it down as 14.96=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.32% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.32%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 14.96=100%
2) x=1.32%
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:
14.96/x=100%/1.32%
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 1.32% of 14.96

14.96/x=100/1.32
(14.96/x)*x=(100/1.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
14.96=75.757575757576*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (75.757575757576) to get x
14.96/75.757575757576=x
0.197472=x
x=0.197472

now we have:
1.32% of 14.96=0.197472
