What is 13.94 percent of 17.023 - 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 17.023 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 17.023 is 100%, so we can write it down as 17.023=100%.
4. We know, that x is 13.94% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=13.94%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 17.023=100%
2) x=13.94%
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:
17.023/x=100%/13.94%
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 13.94% of 17.023

17.023/x=100/13.94
(17.023/x)*x=(100/13.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
17.023=7.1736011477762*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.1736011477762) to get x
17.023/7.1736011477762=x
2.3730062=x
x=2.3730062

now we have:
13.94% of 17.023=2.3730062
