What is 13.95 percent of 98.96 - 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 98.96 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 98.96 is 100%, so we can write it down as 98.96=100%.
4. We know, that x is 13.95% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=13.95%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 98.96=100%
2) x=13.95%
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:
98.96/x=100%/13.95%
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 13.95% of 98.96

98.96/x=100/13.95
(98.96/x)*x=(100/13.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
98.96=7.168458781362*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.168458781362) to get x
98.96/7.168458781362=x
13.80492=x
x=13.80492

now we have:
13.95% of 98.96=13.80492
