What is 14.299 percent of 700 - 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 700 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 700 is 100%, so we can write it down as 700=100%.
4. We know, that x is 14.299% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=14.299%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 700=100%
2) x=14.299%
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:
700/x=100%/14.299%
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 14.299% of 700

700/x=100/14.299
(700/x)*x=(100/14.299)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
700=6.9934960486747*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.9934960486747) to get x
700/6.9934960486747=x
100.093=x
x=100.093

now we have:
14.299% of 700=100.093
