What is 14.236 percent of 129 - 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 129 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 129 is 100%, so we can write it down as 129=100%.
4. We know, that x is 14.236% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=14.236%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 129=100%
2) x=14.236%
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:
129/x=100%/14.236%
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 14.236% of 129

129/x=100/14.236
(129/x)*x=(100/14.236)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
129=7.0244450688396*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.0244450688396) to get x
129/7.0244450688396=x
18.36444=x
x=18.36444

now we have:
14.236% of 129=18.36444
