What is 14.63 percent of 29.96 - 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 29.96 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 29.96 is 100%, so we can write it down as 29.96=100%.
4. We know, that x is 14.63% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=14.63%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 29.96=100%
2) x=14.63%
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:
29.96/x=100%/14.63%
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 14.63% of 29.96

29.96/x=100/14.63
(29.96/x)*x=(100/14.63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
29.96=6.8352699931647*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.8352699931647) to get x
29.96/6.8352699931647=x
4.383148=x
x=4.383148

now we have:
14.63% of 29.96=4.383148
