What is 14.33 percent of 138 - 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 138 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 138 is 100%, so we can write it down as 138=100%.
4. We know, that x is 14.33% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=14.33%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 138=100%
2) x=14.33%
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:
138/x=100%/14.33%
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 14.33% of 138

138/x=100/14.33
(138/x)*x=(100/14.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
138=6.9783670621075*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.9783670621075) to get x
138/6.9783670621075=x
19.7754=x
x=19.7754

now we have:
14.33% of 138=19.7754
