What is 1.73 percent of 14.02 - 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 14.02 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 14.02 is 100%, so we can write it down as 14.02=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.73% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.73%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 14.02=100%
2) x=1.73%
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:
14.02/x=100%/1.73%
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 1.73% of 14.02

14.02/x=100/1.73
(14.02/x)*x=(100/1.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
14.02=57.803468208092*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (57.803468208092) to get x
14.02/57.803468208092=x
0.242546=x
x=0.242546

now we have:
1.73% of 14.02=0.242546
