What is 1.4 percent of 1468 - 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 1468 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 1468 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1468=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.4%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1468=100%
2) x=1.4%
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:
1468/x=100%/1.4%
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 1.4% of 1468

1468/x=100/1.4
(1468/x)*x=(100/1.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1468=71.428571428571*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (71.428571428571) to get x
1468/71.428571428571=x
20.552=x
x=20.552

now we have:
1.4% of 1468=20.552
