What is 14.16 percent of 15.04 - 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 15.04 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 15.04 is 100%, so we can write it down as 15.04=100%.
4. We know, that x is 14.16% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=14.16%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 15.04=100%
2) x=14.16%
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:
15.04/x=100%/14.16%
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 14.16% of 15.04

15.04/x=100/14.16
(15.04/x)*x=(100/14.16)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
15.04=7.0621468926554*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.0621468926554) to get x
15.04/7.0621468926554=x
2.129664=x
x=2.129664

now we have:
14.16% of 15.04=2.129664
