What is 13.89 percent of 454.31 - 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 454.31 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 454.31 is 100%, so we can write it down as 454.31=100%.
4. We know, that x is 13.89% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=13.89%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 454.31=100%
2) x=13.89%
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:
454.31/x=100%/13.89%
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 13.89% of 454.31

454.31/x=100/13.89
(454.31/x)*x=(100/13.89)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
454.31=7.1994240460763*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.1994240460763) to get x
454.31/7.1994240460763=x
63.103659=x
x=63.103659

now we have:
13.89% of 454.31=63.103659
